Oracle to Oversee TikTok's US Algorithm in Trump-Backed Deal

Sep 22, 2025

The US government has announced a preliminary deal for the future of TikTok's operations in the United States. Under this agreement, Oracle Corporation will recreate and provide security for a new American version of TikTok's recommendation algorithm. This change aims to address concerns about data security and foreign influence.

The arrangement will transfer control of TikTok's US operations to a group of American investors and will set up a new company with a board mostly made up of Americans. Oracle will oversee how the app's algorithm works in the US, ensuring that American stakeholders have authority over the software that determines which videos users see.

The Trump administration confirmed that the US government will not take an ownership stake, nor will there be a special 'golden share' or voting power. President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order stating that this deal satisfies requirements set by a US law passed in 2024.

Why is Oracle involved in the TikTok deal?

Oracle will be responsible for managing and securing TikTok's US algorithm to address concerns about data security and foreign control.

Will the US government own part of TikTok after the deal?

No, the US government will not take any ownership or special voting power in TikTok as part of this deal.

What happens to TikTok's US operations under this agreement?

TikTok's US operations will become a new company owned mostly by American investors, with a board made up mainly of Americans.
