TikTok-owner ByteDance plans buyback at $400 billion valuation

Updated on:

ByteDance plans to buy back up to $6 billion in shares from existing investors at an estimated $400 billion valuation, according to The Information.

(Reuters) - ByteDance, the Chinese ​owner of TikTok, ‌is planning to buy ​back up ​to $6 billion worth of ⁠shares ​from existing investors ​at a valuation of about $400 billion, ​The ​Information reported on Thursday, ‌citing ⁠a letter to shareholders and a ​person ​familiar ⁠with the plans.

Reuters ​could not ​immediately ⁠verify the report. 

Digital platforms Meta (META.O) and TikTok joined Google on Wednesday in pushing back against proposed revisions to ​Indonesia's copyright law that would require digital platforms ‌to pay publishers for displaying news content and set rules for AI.

If the bill is passed, Indonesia could become the ​first country in Southeast Asia to incorporate AI ​in its copyright law, as governments globally grapple ⁠with the impact of the technology on copyright rules, ​including the use of work created by humans to train ​AI models.
