TikTok Signs Agreement to Form U.S. Joint Venture

TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, has signed an agreement to set up a U.S. joint venture company controlled by U.S. investors, thus advancing the plan to divest the U.S. business of TikTok, according to foreign media reports.

The deal, led by Oracle, Silver Lake Capital, and Abu Dhabi investment firm MGX, is expected to close on January 22, 2026, according to an internal memo disclosure.

TikTok uses the structure of "data security joint venture + separation of commercial entities" to cut off algorithms, revenue and data sovereignty, which not only preserves core intellectual property rights, but also meets U.S. regulatory requirements.

There are at least six replicable takeaways from this "Texas on the Cloud" paradigm for any Chinese company planning to incorporate in the U.S. or move there:

1. Advance design of the "twin subjects"  

The sensitive modules involving data collection, content review, and algorithm operation and maintenance will be divested to independent U.S. entities, and the profitability of commercial realizations and branding will continue to be controlled by Chinese entities, thus reducing the probability of being recognized as "under the control of a foreign counterparty".

2. Keep equity below the 20 % red line.

 PAFACA uses 20 % shares as the "control" standard; ByteDance locks in 19.9 % in its new JV, maintaining its position as the largest single shareholder while avoiding the ban trigger. Chinese companies coming to the U.S. can follow the "<20 % + board seat" combination, which not only retains the right to speak, but also complies with the legal safety distance.

3. Replacing "technology transfer" with "technology authorization"  

Algorithms, source code and other export-restricted technologies remain in the domestic parent company, through paid authorization + source code hosting for the U.S. side to use, and complete the record of technology export in the Chinese business sector, not only to comply with the law but also not to lose the core assets.

4. Introducing "white knight" local investors  

Oracle, Silver Lake, MGX, such as government lobbying capabilities and data center resources of U.S. capital / neutral capital, on the one hand, can buffer the CFIUS doubts, on the other hand, can provide local cloud services and compliance endorsement to reduce the risk of being "across-the-board" shutdown .

5. Data localization + third-party audits  

U.S. user data must remain on servers in the U.S. and be subject to 24-hour security audits by partners (e.g., Oracle); at the same time, a "data security committee" is established to report regularly to U.S. regulators, forming a verifiable closed loop of compliance.

6. "Splitting" commercial profitability from compliance costs  

TikTok allows profit-making entities responsible for advertising and e-commerce to pay a reasonable service fee to a non-profit "data security joint venture," internalizing compliance costs and avoiding high-premium acquisitions or forced sales of core assets.

Finally summarize one sentence: the future of Chinese enterprises registered in the United States or go to the United States to develop is no longer "wholly-owned holding + headquarters direct management" of the old idea, but "equity downgrade, business dismantling dimensions, technology control dimensions, data on the ground, capital merger"! --Use joint venture for access, use authorization for security, use local partners for long-term tickets.

Seeing this information, some domestic cross-border sellers may feel that it is difficult to register a U.S. company and do not know where to start.

02 Documents needed to register a U.S. company

The U.S. is known for its robust and transparent system of business laws and tax codes, which provide a vibrant environment and abundant opportunities for business growth.

However, when it comes to company registration, many people tend to first think of places like Hong Kong, China, Singapore or the British Virgin Islands (BVI).

A common image of the United States may be of a complex tax system and high tax rates.

However, in reality, after the United States underwent tax reform, its tax system became much more streamlined and its corporate tax rates were drastically lowered, which became very favorable to non-U.S. residents.

Today, maintaining a company in the United States is as easy and affordable as registering a company in Hong Kong.

This makes the United States an attractive business destination, not only because of its strong market potential, but also because of the more business-friendly environment it now offers.

1) Annual Audit

An annual review includes confirming or updating the basic business information of the company, such as registered address, agent information, and director information.

The timing and requirements for annual audits vary from state to state; for example, Delaware regular corporations are required to complete an annual audit by March 1, while LLCs are required to do so by June.

Other states, such as New York, have biennial annual audits, while California and Nevada have natural annual audits, i.e., one audit per year.

Failure to keep annual audits on time may result in fines or other legal consequences.

2) Tax Returns

Tax returns for U.S. corporations include both state and federal taxes.

For federal taxes, companies are required to file a tax return at the rate of 21% if there is a business profit, and not if there is no profit.

State taxes vary from state to state; some states such as Nevada, Texas, and Washington do not have a state income tax, while others may have a franchise tax that needs to be paid even if the company does not operate locally, such as California and New York.

When filing taxes, companies are required to file the appropriate tax forms and reports and pay the appropriate taxes based on their type (e.g., C-Corporation or LLC) and operations.

Be careful: even if there are no operations, the company is required to file a zero tax return!
