In a landmark deal, Oracle, Silver Lake, and venture capital giant Andreessen Horowitz have joined forces to take control of TikTok’s U.S. operations. The consortium now holds an 80% majority stake, strengthening American oversight of the popular short-video platform amid ongoing concerns about data security and international regulations.

Oracle’s role in this partnership is particularly important, as the company has already been a key technology provider for TikTok’s U.S. data storage and cloud infrastructure. By expanding its stake, Oracle aims to ensure both compliance with U.S. standards and a more secure technological backbone for the app’s millions of users.

Meanwhile, Silver Lake and Andreessen Horowitz bring deep financial and innovation expertise to the table. Their investment and strategic direction are expected to accelerate TikTok’s growth in the U.S. market, particularly in areas such as e-commerce integration, digital advertising, and content monetization for creators.

This acquisition highlights the growing intersection of social media, technology, and venture capital in shaping the digital economy. With 80% of TikTok USA now controlled by American investors, the platform may undergo significant changes in governance, policy, and expansion strategies — all while maintaining its massive influence on Gen Z and Millennial audiences.
