TikTok美国业务合资公司正式落定 周受资留任全球CEO并进入董事会

1月22日,TikTok美国业务分拆交易正式完成,新成立的TikTok USDS合资公司(TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC)开始运营,为持续多年的「不卖就禁」风波画上句号。TikTok全球首席执行官周受资留任,并进入新合资公司七人董事会。
根据交易安排,甲骨文、银湖资本与阿布扎比投资机构MGX各持有合资公司15%的股份,字节跳动原有投资者的关联方合计持股30.1%,字节跳动保留19.9%。这笔交易对TikTok美国业务的估值约为140亿美元,该平台拥有约1.7亿美国用户。
新公司负责美国市场的数据保护、算法安全、内容审核与软件保障,甲骨文担任可信安全合作伙伴,美国用户数据存储于甲骨文的云基础设施,推荐算法将在美国用户数据的基础上重新训练。据公开报道,合资公司首席执行官由曾任TikTok运营与信任安全负责人的亚当·普雷瑟(Adam Presser)担任。
周受资2021年出任TikTok首席执行官,此后多次赴美国国会作证,是这场风波中最受瞩目的华人高管。交易完成后,TikTok全球业务仍由他掌舵。(GSM 据公开报道)

TikTok's U.S. Joint Venture Closes; Shou Zi Chew Remains Global CEO and Joins Its Board
On January 22, TikTok formally closed the deal to spin off its U.S. business, and the newly created TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC began operating, bringing the years-long 'divest-or-ban' saga to an end. TikTok's global chief executive, Shou Zi Chew, remains in his role and takes a seat on the joint venture's seven-member board.
Under the deal, Oracle, Silver Lake and Abu Dhabi-based MGX each hold 15 percent of the venture, affiliates of ByteDance's existing investors hold a combined 30.1 percent, and ByteDance retains 19.9 percent. The transaction values TikTok's U.S. business at about $14 billion; the platform has roughly 170 million American users.
The new company oversees U.S. data protection, algorithm security, content moderation and software assurance. Oracle serves as the trusted security partner, U.S. user data is stored on Oracle's cloud infrastructure, and the recommendation algorithm will be retrained on U.S. data. According to public reporting, Adam Presser, formerly TikTok's head of operations and trust and safety, serves as the joint venture's chief executive.
Chew became TikTok's CEO in 2021 and testified repeatedly before the U.S. Congress, becoming the most prominent Chinese executive in the controversy. He continues to lead TikTok's global business. (GSM, based on public reporting)
