Microsoft Corp has teamed up with Walmart Inc. to acquire video-sharing app TikTok’s business in the United States following President Donald Trump executive order which forces ByteDance to sell it to a US company.

The news drove Walmart’s shares by more than 6% on Thursday’s session after the company confirmed the news.

According to Bloomberg, Oracle Corporation has also placed a bid worth $20 billion in an attempt to buy video-sharing app TikTok’s business in the United States. Oracle’s proposal includes a $10 billion payment in cash and another $10 billion in Oracle stock.

This comes after ByteDance earlier this week filed a lawsuit against the US government, in an attempt to challenge the decision to ban the app in the US.

TikTok’s Chief Executive Kevin Mayer on Thursday announced he’s leaving the company less than three months into the job. According to media reports, the CEO cites being excluded from negotiations over the possible sale of the app in the US.
