META as the world's top social media company by sales, the report said, citing sources.\nByteDance's biannual buybacks allow employees to cash out holdings while signaling financial health.\nUnlike many late-stage private companies that rely on outside capital for such programs, ByteDance is funding this repurchase using its own balance sheet.\nByteDance did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comments.\nSee Also: Elon Musk’s Father Says He Warned His Son Against Going Into Politics – ‘He’s Not a Very Good Politician At All’\nDespite its revenue dominance, ByteDance remains under heavy U.S. political pressure.\nWashington lawmakers have labeled TikTok a national security risk due to Chinese ownership.\nCongress passed legislation in 2024 requiring ByteDance to sell TikTok's U.S. operations by Jan. 19, 2025, or face a nationwide ban.\nHowever, President Donald Trump has extended the deadline to Sept. 17, with hints of further extensions. He has said \"U.S. buyers are lined up\" for TikTok, but lawmakers have criticized the delays.\nSources told the publication that a U.S.-based investor consortium, including Susquehanna International Group, General Atlantic, KKR & Co. Inc. KKR and Andreessen Horowitz, has emerged as the frontrunner to acquire TikTok, with ByteDance expected to retain a minority stake.\nAs negotiations continue, TikTok is reportedly building a separate app for American users, with plans to launch it in U.S. app stores on Sept. 5. Existing users will be asked to migrate by March 2026.\nThe move could ensure service continuity if a sale or ban proceeds.\nByteDance has invested billions of dollars into AI development, buying advanced Nvidia Corporation NVDA chips and expanding its infrastructure.\nAnalysts say its valuation—still a fraction of Meta's $1.9 trillion market cap—reflects regulatory risks but also its leadership in social media monetization and AI innovation, the report said.\nRead Next: \nPhoto Courtesy: Melnikov Dmitriy on Shutterstock.com\nDisclaimer: This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"1","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
