The race to own TikTok is heating up with the participation of many technology 'giants' and unexpected names.

According to Bloomberg, a group of American investors led by YouTube star MrBeast is planning to acquire TikTok with an offer price of more than 20 billion USD.

The group reportedly includes notable names like David Baszucki (co-founder and CEO of Roblox) and Nathan McCauley (co-founder and CEO of Anchorage Digital). Tech entrepreneur Jesse Tinsley, founder of Employer.com, also confirmed his participation in the deal.
The price offered by MrBeast's team is said to be higher than another competing offer, which could come from Project Liberty - a joint venture between LA Dodgers owner Frank McCourt and Shark Tank 'shark' Kevin O'Leary.
Previously, billionaire Elon Musk and Microsoft were also said to be interested in acquiring TikTok's operations in the US.
Despite the attention, TikTok’s parent company ByteDance has yet to comment on the potential sale of the platform. The company has repeatedly said it will not separate TikTok’s business.
Will MrBeast and his associates succeed in convincing ByteDance to accept a sale of TikTok in the US? The outcome of this deal will have a major impact on the future of the world's most popular short-video platform.
