Oracle discloses $2.2bn stake in TikTok US operations

EU probes TikTok over breach of privacy

Almost two months after TikTok’s United States operations were transferred to a consortium of investors, Oracle has revealed its financial stake in the venture.

In its quarterly filing on Wednesday, Oracle reported holding $2.2 billion in “non-marketable debt investments and equity securities and related instruments” for the period ending February 28.

The filing noted that the “substantial majority” of these non-marketable investments was tied to TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC, the entity managing TikTok’s U.S. operations.

In September, President Donald Trump signed an executive order authorising ByteDance to divest its U.S. operations, with Vice President JD Vance estimating the business’s value at $14 billion.

Following the ownership transition, Oracle became the custodian of all TikTok U.S. user data.

A White House memo indicated that Oracle would also serve as the company’s security provider, tasked with “independently monitor[ing] and assur[ing] the safety of all operations in the U.S.”

However, the transition has faced challenges and has not proceeded entirely smoothly.

In January, TikTok’s U.S. unit attributed a series of glitches and content disruptions to a power outage at one of its data centers, countering claims that the platform was censoring political content.
