Microsoft to continue discussions on
potential TikTok purchase in the United
States
Aug 2, 2020 | Microsoft Corporate Blogs
Following a conversation between Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella
and President Donald J. Trump, Microsoft is prepared to
continue discussions to explore a purchase of TikTok in the
United States.
Microsoft fully appreciates the importance of addressing the
President’s concerns. It is committed to acquiring TikTok
subject to a complete security review and providing proper
economic benefits to the United States, including the United
States Treasury.
Microsoft will move quickly to pursue discussions with TikTok’s
parent company, ByteDance, in a matter of weeks, and in any
event completing these discussions no later than September
15, 2020. During this process, Microsoft looks forward to
continuing dialogue with the United States Government,
including with the President.
The discussions with ByteDance will build upon a notification
made by Microsoft and ByteDance to the Committee on
Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). The two
companies have provided notice of their intent to explore a
preliminary proposal that would involve a purchase of the
TikTok service in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New
Zealand and would result in Microsoft owning and operating
TikTok in these markets. Microsoft may invite other American
investors to participate on a minority basis in this purchase.

digital safety protections. The operating model for the service
would be built to ensure transparency to users as well as
appropriate security oversight by governments in these
countries.
Among other measures, Microsoft would ensure that all private
data of TikTok’s American users is transferred to and remains in
the United States. To the extent that any such data is currently
stored or backed-up outside the United States, Microsoft would
ensure that this data is deleted from servers outside the
country after it is transferred.
Microsoft appreciates the U.S. Government’s and President
Trump’s personal involvement as it continues to develop strong
security protections for the country.
These discussions are preliminary and there can be no
assurance that a transaction which involves Microsoft will
proceed. We do not intend to provide further updates until
there is a definitive outcome to our discussions.
