WASHINGTON (TNND) — Amazon has submitted a bid to acquire TikTok, The New York Times reported Wednesday.

The bid was in the form of an offer letter addressed to Vice President JD Vance and Secretary Howard Lutnick of the Department of Commerce, the newspaper said, citing a person briefed on the matter.

But according to three people familiar with the bid, various parties who have been involved in talks on a potential TikTok sale do not appear to be taking Amazon’s offer seriously, the report says.

Amazon, which declined The National News Desk’s request for comment, is one of multiple entities that have been reported to have made an offer for the app. President Donald Trump said in January that Microsoft was one of the companies interested in buying TikTok, and NPR reported the same month that software company Oracle was working to take ownership of the app.

ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company, has until Saturday to divest from the app, or the platform can be banned in the U.S. under a law passed last year. The original deadline for divesture was Jan. 19, but Trump, on Inauguration Day, delayed enforcement of the law until less than three days from now.

The president said at the time he was giving the administration an opportunity to “determine the appropriate course forward in an orderly way that protects national security while avoiding an abrupt shutdown of a communications platform used by millions of Americans.”

The New York Times reported that Trump is scheduled to meet with top White House officials on Wednesday to discuss what will happen with TikTok. People familiar with the talks have outlined a potential deal that could include the involvement of Oracle and private equity firm Blackstone as investors, according to the newspaper.
