Oracle Picked as Winning Bid for TikTok U.S. Over Microsoft: WSJ
racle Corp. has been selected as the winning bidder for TikTok’s
U.S. operations, the Wall Street Journal reported, after Microsoft
Corp. said its bid was rejected by parent company ByteDance Ltd.
Oracle will be announced as TikTok’s “trusted tech partner” in
the U.S., the Wall Street Journal reported, citing an unidentified
source. The eventual deal won’t be structured as an outright
sale, the Journal added.
“ByteDance let us know today they would not be selling TikTok’s
US operations to Microsoft,” Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft
said in a statement. “We are confident our proposal would have
been good for TikTok’s users, while protecting national security
interests.”
Microsoft, which was working with Walmart Inc., had been seen as
the more likely winner earlier in the process, but its talks have
cooled, a person with knowledge of the matter said earlier today.
Microsoft hadn’t been asked to make revisions to its initial
offer in the face of recent signs of opposition to a deal from
Chinese government officials, the person added. That’s given
competitor Oracle Corp. an upper hand in the negotiations.
Microsoft said in its statement that it was prepared to make
changes aimed at addressing U.S. national security concerns. “To
do this, we would have made significant changes to ensure the
service met the highest standards for security, privacy, online
safety, and combating disinformation, and we made these principles
clear in our August statement. We look forward to seeing how the
service evolves in these important areas.”
