$Oracle(ORCL.US) Rumors, seems unverified.

A buyer for TikTok, composed of a group of wealthy individuals, will reveal their identity in two weeks. Guess who it will be?

There have been many potential buyers for TikTok, including Oracle, $Amazon(AMZN.US), Blackstone, $Microsoft(MSFT.US), AppLovin, Perplexity AI, and Walmart.

Lucky speculates it will be a consortium led by Oracle: with Oracle as the core, partnering with private equity firms (like Blackstone) or super-rich individuals, combining technology and capital to take over TikTok.

Oracle previously bid for TikTok's U.S. operations in 2020 and is currently the cloud service provider for TikTok's U.S. user data (also for TEMU), responsible for data security management.

Oracle's founder, Larry Ellison, has close ties with Trump. During a White House press conference in January 2025, Trump publicly expressed his hope for Ellison to buy TikTok and proposed "giving half the equity to the U.S." Oracle may participate as a major technical partner or controlling stakeholder.

The consortium model could reduce the financial pressure on a single buyer (TikTok's valuation is $50-60 billion) and spread political risks.
