ByteDance’s Largest US Investors ‘In Talks’ Over TikTok Deal
- The largest US investors in TikTok parent ByteDance, including General Atlantic, Susquehanna, KKR and Coatue, are reportedly considering taking stakes in a spin-off of the app’s US operations to prevent a shutdown under a US law passed last year.
- Negotiations include discussions with Oracle, who may take a small stake in the spin-off and continue the 2020 deal to house TikTok’s US data in Texas facilities.
- ByteDance would aim to retain a stake in the US operation, but its ownership would be below the 20% threshold required by US law.

Did ByteDance Just Create a React Native Killer?
- ByteDance, known for developing AI models, introduces an open-source Rust-based JavaScript framework called Lynx for cross-platform mobile and web applications.
- Lynx, used internally for TikTok, competes with React Native, aiming to provide a great native experience and eliminate lag.
- Lynx empowers developers to create native UIs from a single codebase, powering apps like TikTok Studio and e-commerce storefronts.
- The framework solves challenges in delivering experiences at scale and velocity, ensuring engaging UIs and responsive interfaces.
- With a statically enforced division of user scripting, Lynx aims to render frames fast and reach multiple platforms efficiently.
- Experts perceive Lynx favorably for its access to native functionality and performance optimization, potentially challenging React Native.
- Lynx's multithreaded engine for instant launch and UI responsiveness contrasts with React Native's single-threaded JavaScript bridge.
- Developers acknowledge Lynx's innovative approach, emphasizing the competition and potential for innovation in the mobile app development landscape.
- While React Native has improved over the years, Lynx's unique thread approach offers faster data processing and smooth UI updates.
- Although still in its early days, the positive reception to Lynx indicates excitement within the developer community for its potential to compete with established frameworks.

What to know about TikTok’s uncertain future in the US and the people who want to buy it
- Owned by Chinese company ByteDance, TikTok faces uncertainty in the U.S. due to data security concerns, with a potential valuation of over $60 billion.
- The tumultuous relationship between TikTok and the U.S. government began in August 2020, with Trump signing an executive order to ban transactions with ByteDance.
- Legal battles ensued, leading to a temporary block of the ban as Microsoft, Oracle, and Walmart vied to acquire TikTok's U.S. operations.
- After Biden took office, the U.S. House and Senate passed legislation against TikTok, requiring its sale or face a ban, which was challenged by TikTok.
- Despite previous bans, Trump later opposed the TikTok ban in 2024 and extended the deadline for selling or reaching an agreement with a U.S. company.
- Investors like Frank McCourt's consortium and American Investor Consortium led by Jesse Tinsley have shown interest in acquiring TikTok's U.S. operations.
- Notable figures like Alexis Ohanian, Kevin O'Leary, Tim Berners-Lee, and David Baszucki support bids prioritizing privacy and data control.
- Other potential buyers include Bobby Kotick, Steven Mnuchin, Oracle, Walmart, Microsoft, Rumble, and Perplexity AI, each eyeing TikTok for various strategic reasons.
- Though talks are ongoing, no definitive deal has been reached yet, keeping the future of TikTok's ownership uncertain.
- The expanding list of interested parties suggests that the fate of TikTok in the U.S. is being closely monitored and its eventual ownership shift is eagerly anticipated.
