I would like to subscribe to more corporate monetization facts

It’s sort of similar, but the US government isn’t seizing TikTok. It, when the legislation is signed, will force sale to a US entity or otherwise prevent the usage in the United States.

ByteDance will probably get somewhat close to fair market value for the application, after all of the lawsuits and legal challenges are over with

More often than not that has been the case :)
