There may have been some extra incentive for the Trump administration to get the TikTok US deal<\/a> done. According to a report from The Wall Street Journal<\/em><\/a>, the Trump administration is set to receive a total of $10 billion in the deal that allowed TikTok to remain in the US. The new investors who acquired stakes in the US entity of TikTok already paid a $2.5 billion fee to the administration when the deal closed in January, but WSJ<\/em>‘s latest report noted that the group of investors would continue to make payments until the total hits $10 billion.<\/p>\n

After a group of investors, which includes Oracle along with the Silver Lake<\/a> and MGX investment firms, acquired stakes in the US-based TikTok entity called TikTok USDS Joint Venture, the WSJ<\/em><\/a> previously reported that the administration would receive a “multibillion-dollar fee” for its work on the deal. To better contextualize the recently-revealed $10 billion fee the Trump administration is receiving, the US entity of TikTok was valued at $14 billion by Vice President JD Vance.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration has previously involved itself in major deals with other US corporations. Last year, the administration invested $8.9 billion<\/a> into Intel and received a nearly 9 percent equity stake. In terms of unprecedented windfalls, the Trump administration also received a Boeing 747-8<\/a> as a gift from the Qatari government in May.<\/p>\n
