Chinese owner denies it’s willing to sell TikTok as US ban looms
Quick Glance: TikTok Ban Threat: ByteDance Prefers Closure Over Sale, Insiders Say
  • ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, would prefer to shut down its loss-making app rather than sell it if all legal options to fight legislation to ban the platform from app stores in the US are exhausted, said four sources.

  • TikTok accounts for a small share of ByteDance’s total revenues and daily active users, so the parent would rather have the app shut down in the US in a worst-case scenario than sell it to a potential American buyer, they said.

  • ByteDance would not agree to sell one of its most valuable assets – its “secret source” – to rivals, said the four sources, referring to the TikTok algorithm.

  • After facing challenges regarding bans, the short-form video app has encountered partial and attempted prohibitions in the US and other nations.
