Update: Market Chatter: AppLovin CEO Says Bid for TikTok Is 'Stronger' Versus Rivals

05:01 PM EDT, 04/04/2025 (MT Newswires) -- (Updates with company comment in the third paragraph.)

AppLovin ( APP ) Chief Executive Officer Adam Foroughi said Friday in a CNBC interview that his company's offer for TikTok is "a much stronger bid than others."

Foroughi is proposing a merger with TikTok's global business to enable China to run the app using AppLovin's ( APP ) AI-powered advertising model for business expansion, CNBC said.

"We have a deal that can provide a win for the Trump administration and for the creators of TikTok," Foroughi said in a statement emailed to MT Newswires. "Our proposal is an enhancement to the current deal being discussed with Oracle (ORCL) and investors, but it is a bigger deal."

US President Donald Trump on Friday extended the deadline to June for TikTok-owner ByteDance to sell the social media platform's US subsidiary to an American suitor.
