Former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is putting together an investor group to buy TikTok

Mnuchin did not specify who the other investors would be in such a deal.

Former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is building an investor group to acquire ByteDance’s TikTok, as a bipartisan piece of legislation winding its way through Congress threatens its continued existence in the U.S.

The House of Representatives on Wednesday passed a bipartisan bill that if signed into law would force ByteDance to either divest its flagship global app or face an effective ban on TikTok within the U.S.

“I think the legislation should pass and I think it should be sold,” Mnuchin told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Thursday. “It’s a great business and I’m going to put together a group to buy TikTok.”

The bill is now headed to the Senate, where its future is uncertain, though President Joe Biden’s administration has indicated that he will sign the legislation if it passes.

“This should be owned by U.S. businesses. There’s no way that the Chinese would ever let a U.S. company own something like this in China,” Mnuchin said.

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have highlighted TikTok’s reach in the U.S. — by its own estimates, 170 million people in America use the app — as providing the Chinese government with ready access and influence over the U.S.
