TikTok Parent Company ByteDance Is Now Valued at More Than Oracle Corp.
TikTok parent company ByteDance is now valued at more than Oracle Corp. after planning a six billion dollar share buyback, Benzinga reported on Friday.
The Tech TL;DR:
- ByteDance’s private-market valuation reached four hundred billion dollars following a proposed six billion dollar share buyback plan.
- Oracle’s public-market capitalization stood at approximately three hundred eighty-four billion dollars, putting ByteDance ahead by nearly sixteen billion dollars.
- The valuation milestone highlights the immense commercial scale of Meta Platforms Inc.’s primary competitor in the consumer attention market.
The proposed share buyback values ByteDance at four hundred billion dollars, representing a valuation twenty percent higher than its previous buyback a year prior, according to The Information.
That figure outpaces Oracle’s public-market capitalization of roughly three hundred eighty-four billion dollars on November 13, as tracked by Stock Alarm. While ByteDance’s valuation remains private and Oracle’s relies on publicly traded stock, the figures provide a direct benchmark for comparing the two massive technology entities.
Oracle holds a fifteen percent stake in the restructured TikTok U.S. joint venture alongside Silver Lake and Abu Dhabi’s MGX, while ByteDance retains a nineteen point nine percent share. Under the operational structure, Oracle provides secure U.S. cloud infrastructure and serves as the security partner for data protection and algorithm security. Meanwhile, ByteDance retains ownership of the application’s core revenue-generating operations and global commercial monetization systems.
Beyond its infrastructure role for TikTok, Oracle maintains a multiyear agreement with OpenAI to develop up to 4.5 gigawatts of additional U.S. data center capacity. That five-year compute commitment involves approximately three hundred billion dollars in hardware and infrastructure purchases, placing Oracle firmly at the center of both enterprise AI scaling and social media restructuring.
Meta Platforms Inc. is valued at four hundred billion dollars, showing its chief rival remains financially strong in digital advertising and engagement. ByteDance reported that its first-half revenue climbed approximately thirty percent to one hundred twenty billion dollars, though net profit declined to around twenty billion dollars due to heavier artificial intelligence spending.
