Private equity giant Blackstone (BX) has reportedly withdrawn from a group aiming to invest in TikTok's U.S. operations, according to sources familiar with the situation. The investment group, which includes notable entities such as Susquehanna International Group, General Atlantic, and Andreessen Horowitz, was preparing to acquire an 80% stake in TikTok's U.S. business [1]. Oracle is expected to acquire a stake in TikTok as part of this consortium.Based on the one-year price targets offered by 19 analysts, the average target price for Blackstone Inc (BX) is $162.60, with a high estimate of $202.00 and a low estimate of $132.00.

The exit of Blackstone from the consortium comes amid ongoing US-China trade talks and repeated deadline extensions for TikTok's U.S. operations.

In June 2025, President Donald Trump issued a third executive order extending the deadline to 17 September 2025 [3].
