CEO Shouzi Zhou issued an internal memo to employees on Thursday (18th), announcing that an agreement has been signed with investors to establish a brand new joint venture in the United States to ensure TikTok can continue operating in the U.S. market. According to the framework agreement signed earlier by U.S. President Trump, the new joint venture entity is named "TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC." The entity will be controlled by American investors and managed by a seven-member board, most of whom are Americans, with operations bound by terms protecting U.S. citizen data and maintaining national security. The memo detailed the equity structure of the new company. An investment consortium composed of tech giant Oracle, private equity firm Silver Lake, and investment company MGX will jointly hold 50% of the joint venture, with each of the three companies owning 15%. Among the remaining shares, 30.1% will be held by affiliated companies of ByteDance's existing investors, while the parent company ByteDance will retain 19.9% equity. On the technical and security front, the new joint venture will bear the heavy responsibility of protecting U.S. user data, ensuring the security of core algorithms, content review, and software safeguards. In addition to being a shareholder, Oracle will serve as a "trusted security partner," responsible for auditing and verifying whether the company complies with national security terms. All sensitive U.S. user data will be stored in Oracle's cloud data centers located within the United States. Moreover, an important function of the new entity is to retrain TikTok's core content recommendation algorithm using U.S. user data. This move aims to ensure that the content delivery mechanism is open and transparent, free from any external manipulation. Shouzi Zhou emphasized in the memo that ByteDance and TikTok have both agreed to the terms of the transaction. Although there is still a lot of work to be done before the deal is finalized, all parties are currently working towards the goal of completing the transaction by January 22, 2026. He pointed out that this agreement will allow over 170 million U.S. users to continue using this global social platform and community ### 相关股票 - [Oracle (ORCL.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/ORCL.US.md) - [ByteDance (BYTED.NA)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/BYTED.NA.md) ## 相关资讯与研究 - [TikTok seeks Brazil fintech license to offer credit](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281225567.md) - [Oracle Targets Restaurant Industry With New AI Back Office Solution](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281171606.md) - [Inside the hype train for Trader Joe's TikTok-viral lavender tote bag](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281465009.md) - [TikTok is casting actors for its own short drama series](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/280363659.md) - [French education ministry reports TikTok to Paris prosecutor](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/280676227.md)
