Almost two months after TikTok’s U.S. operations officially landed in the hands of a group of investors, Oracle disclosed its stake in the joint venture at roughly $2 billion.
In its quarterly financial filing on Wednesday, Oracle said it recorded “non-marketable debt investments and equity securities and related instruments” of $2.2 billion for the period ended Feb. 28.
The “substantial majority” of its non-marketable investments were in TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC, the filing said.
A national security law signed by former President Joe Biden in 2024 required China’s ByteDance to sell TikTok’s U.S. operations, or face a nationwide ban.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order approving ByteDance’s divestment in September. Vice President JD Vance said the business was valued at $14 billion.
In January, Adam Presser was named CEO of the new TikTok USDS Joint Venture. Oracle, Silver Lake, Abu Dhabi’s MGX and a group of other investors made up the majority control in the new entity.
Oracle owns 15% and has a seat on the board, which the company reiterated on its earnings call late Tuesday. Silver Lake and MGX each control 15% as well. ByteDance owns just under 20% of the U.S. venture.
Following the change in ownership, Oracle housed all of TikTok’s U.S. user data. A memo from the White House said Oracle would also act as the company’s security provider to “independently monitor and assure the safety of all operations in the U.S.”
The transition hasn’t been entirely smooth.
In January, TikTok’s U.S. entity said a wave of glitches and content disruptions was due to a power outage at one of its data centers, pushing back against claims that the platform was censoring political speech.
Earlier this month, the joint venture posted on X that, “An issue with an Oracle data center is impacting some parts of the TikTok U.S. user experience.”
“Creators may temporarily experience lags in posting content while Oracle works to resolve the issue,” TikTok said.
The company posted three days later that service had been fully restored.
