TikTok has established a joint venture in the U.S. called TikTok USDS, led by Adam Presser as CEO.

ByteDance retains a minority stake while the app's key algorithm will be managed in Oracle's data centers.

TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew announced a new joint venture for U.S. operations, named TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC, with Oracle, Silver Lake, and MGX as managing investors.
