Jimmy Donaldson — better known online as MrBeast — isn’t in the TikTok bidding race just yet, according to a representative for the YouTube star.

TikTok went dark Saturday night ahead of a nationwide ban. It came back online about 12 hours later after President Donald Trump announced a 75-day delay on the ban. During that time, TikTok needs to find a non-China-based owner to buy it or face a permanent shutdown in the U.S.

YouTube and TikTok star MrBeast is looking to buy TikTok as part of a group of investors, as a 75-day time limit ticks down for the social media company to find a non-Chinese owner or risk being permanently banned.

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.

MrBeast, the popular YouTube star and the internet’s highest-earning content creator, is holding discussions with several groups that are interested in buying TikTok before a possible ban, according to a spokesperson.

US President Donald Trump gave TikTok a breather of 75 days to avoid the US ban by finding a suitable non-Chinese buyer. Now, it seems like the renowned YouTuber MrBeast is eyeing the opportunity to buy TikTok as part of a group of investors.

The YouTube star has become known for producing a range of content—including big-budget, elaborate stunts and charitable acts.
