TikTok parent ByteDance valued at about $300 billion, WSJ says
Briefly

ByteDance Ltd.'s recent valuation of $300 billion reflects its ongoing struggle to maintain TikTok's presence in the US amidst potential federal bans affecting its operations.
The gradual increase in ByteDance's valuation, rising from $225 billion to $268 billion and then $300 billion in buybacks, underscores the company's aggressive financial maneuvering during uncertain regulatory conditions.
While President-elect Donald Trump previously supported banning TikTok, his more recent sentiments suggest a potential reconsideration, indicating a complex political landscape for the app's future in America.
The looming deadline for TikTok to be sold to an American owner by mid-January positions ByteDance in a precarious situation, balancing skyrocketing valuations with regulatory threats.
