 Trump administration set to receive $10 billion for facilitating TikTok deal The Trump administration is reportedly set to receive $10 billion for its role in securing the TikTok US deal. According to reports, the group of investors that acquired stakes in TikTok’s U.S. operations—known as TikTok USDS Joint Venture—already paid $2.5 billion when the deal closed in January, with additional payments scheduled until the total reaches $10 billion. The investors include Oracle, Silver Lake, and MGX. The U.S. entity of TikTok was valued at $14 billion by Vice President JD Vance, providing context for the size of the fee. The administration has a history of involvement in major corporate deals, including an $8.9 billion investment in Intel last year that yielded nearly a 9 percent equity stake. In another high-profile move, the Trump administration received a Boeing 747-8 as a gift from the Qatari government in May.
