TikTok owner ByteDance said to weigh spending as much as $89 billion in AI push
Summary
ByteDance is considering a massive increase in capital spending for 2026 and 2027 to strengthen its AI position. The company may spend up to US$70 billion in 2026 and potentially around US$100 billion in 2027, mainly on data centers and AI infrastructure. It is also expanding AI products such as the Doubao chatbot and Seedance models while preparing to monetize some services through subscriptions. The move puts ByteDance in sharper competition with major U.S. hyperscalers and with Chinese peers like Tencent and Alibaba.
