- NPR claims to have Intel on a new plan for Oracle to be buyers from Tiktok
- The president denies all knowledge, but the employees of the congress are less tight
- At the time of the press, Tiktok is still not available in Google and Apple application stores due to the imminent ban
Oracle could be the next online to resume the property of the Bytedance Tiktok social media giant, if we are to believe new reports.
An NPR exclusivity, fueled by correspondence with “two people with direct knowledge of talks”, says that a troubled agreement involving the storage of the Cloud Titan is at the early stages; Although complicated by President Trump’s own desires for the United States himself to have a 50% participation in the company, and “a group of external investors”, including Microsoft, also showing interest.
The new deliberations offer Tiktok an execution stay after being prohibited in the United States in the event of non-sales to American buyers in place (a process known as qualified divestment), thanks to a law adopted by congresses April 2024.
Oracle Tiktok Deal?
Given speculation, it is not surprising that President Trump would have refused to comment when he was asked for potential talks that took place with Oracle Larry Ellison on the agreement, which means that ‘In the end, we just don’t know much about the level – however.
One of the sources of NPR, however, claimed, at present, the agreement would give the United States direct surveillance on Tiktok as a platform, but that Byédance “would not disappear completely”.
Although the deadline of origin for a sale occurred before a ban was on January 19, 2025, the newly president in the field signed an executive decree which provided an extension of 75 days – despite the compression of legal researchers.
Although the Tiktok service is still operational in the United States following the order, Google and Apple both withdrew it from their respective mobile application stores, most likely to the line of the law.
A member of the Congress member involved in the talks said that “a key element [of the new deal winning approval despite passing a deadline] shows that there is no operational relationship with Bytedance […] There should not be any waste where China can potentially access. “”
White House negotiators would have had the impression that Tiktok could well be worth 200 billion US dollars, it may not be surprising that certain forces wish to maintain the agreement alive.
In addition, the Chinese opposition for the sale of Tiktok would have recently relieved while thoughts turn to its use as a negotiation currency to relieve commercial prices; A position that would seem to ensure that the agreement goes all the more likely.
Oracle, on the other hand, has its own well -established interests in an agreement. In his annual report to the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2024, he said that a Tiktok ban could affect the activities of the Cloud giant, because Bytedance is a customer and, in June 2022, moved its US user data to the Oracle servers after initial concerns have been raised about its data management practices in the territory.
This is not the first time that technological giants such as Microsoft and Oracle have been named in the context of potential offers that would transfer Tiktok to American property; In August 2020, the two companies, as well as names such as Walmart, Google and Twitter were appointed within the framework of an agreement that could have transformed the application into a creator-focused electronic commercial platform.
