A group of American investors, including YouTube star MrBeast and Roblox CEO David Baszucki, has secured over $20 billion for a potential TikTok takeover, but ByteDance has yet to respond to their bid.

It’s not clear if TikTok’s owner ByteDance has seriously considered the offer, Bloomberg reported. Others floated as potential buyers include Elon Musk, Amazon, Oracle, and a syndicate headed by billionaire Frank McCourt.

MrBeast himself hasn’t publicly commented on which side he’ll choose yet. “The leading groups who are all credible [sic] bidding on Tik Tok have reached out for us to help them, I’m excited to partner/make this a reality,” he posted on Wednesday.

Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, has teamed up with Employer.com CEO Jesse Tinsley and other investors in an all-cash offer for the social platform.

Speculation is rising around MrBeast's bid in buying TikTok, but Kevin O'Leary remains firm that his $20 billion offer is the "only" one that has the coding and technology capabilities.

The billionaire declined to share details on his sources of financing, but said private equity firms and family offices have reached out.

Frank McCourt’s Project Liberty and other investors have submitted a bid to buy TikTok from China-based ByteDance after a court-ordered divestiture or shutdown.
