ByteDance Ltd., TikTok’s Chinese parent company, is set to receive a significant share of profit from the platform’s US operations under a deal brokered by President Donald Trump. Under the terms, ByteDance will likely get 50% or more of the overall profit after American investors take control of the majority ownership. As part of the agreement, ByteDance will also receive a licensing fee for sharing its algorithm with the US operation and a proportionate share of the profit based on its equity stake.
