Oracle, Silver Lake and Andreessen Horowitz will control TikTok’s US operations under a new 80/20 framework with ByteDance.
• 80% US-owned (Oracle + Silver Lake + A16z + legacy investors)
• 20% Chinese-owned (ByteDance keeps a slice)
• American board with US government oversight
• New US-only app with separate algorithm from global TikTok
US users will download a new app that looks identical to current TikTok but runs entirely on American infrastructure with US-controlled algorithms. ByteDance licenses their technology but loses operational control. The result: TikTok survives, creators keep audiences, Washington gets data control.
