YouTube star MrBeast has confirmed that he’s making an official bid to purchase TikTok after the ban briefly went dark in the US.

Jimmy Donaldson, better known online as MrBeast, has a history of documenting his charity work through his videos.

The platform is in need of saving in the United States, where approximately 170 million people have TikTok accounts. On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a federal law that will ban the platform on Jan. 19 unless TikTok’s China-based owner ByteDance divests its U.S. operations.

James "Jimmy" Donaldson, known as MrBeast on YouTube, made an offhand comment to X this week, saying he'd buy TikTok so it doesn't get banned.

TikTok’s time will expire on Jan. 19 if no buyer is found or the Supreme Court rules in the app’s favor. Here’s what to know.

The YouTube sensation has proposed buying TikTok as a unique solution to stop the social platform from being banned in the U.S.

After revealing interest to buy TikTok, MrBeast says he has an offer to present to the company after meeting with a group of billionaires.

The fate of TikTok remains uncertain as 170 million U.S. users wait to see if their favorite video-sharing app will survive the looming ban. As MrBeast puts it, “stay tuned” — both for his next moves and for the potential future of TikTok in America.

Musk, MrBeast, investor and "Shark Tank" host Kevin O'Leary and Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt's Project Liberty have been the names primarily connected to the purchase of TikTok.

MrBeast is part of a growing list of individuals and businesses that have expressed interesting in purchasing TikTok.

MrBeast shared a video on TikTok pleading with the company to let him save the application for millions of its users in the US.
