Microsoft is currently in talks to acquire TikTok's U.S. operations, as confirmed by former President Donald Trump. This potential acquisition comes amid national security concerns surrounding TikTok. The April 4th deadline was set by the previous extension granted for TikTok to find new ownership. Several other parties, including Perplexity AI, Frank McCourt, and former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, have also expressed interest in acquiring TikTok.
Resolution Criteria

Microsoft successfully completes the acquisition of TikTok's U.S. operations before April 4th, 2025
The acquisition is officially announced and confirmed by both parties before the deadline
This market will resolve NO if:
Microsoft does not complete the acquisition by April 4th, 2024
Another company acquires TikTok before the deadline
No acquisition takes place by the deadline
The deal falls through or negotiations end without an agreement
Considerations

Regulatory approvals and national security reviews may impact the completion timeline
Previous attempts to acquire TikTok have faced significant regulatory and political hurdles
The deadline could potentially be extended again, but this market will resolve based on the current April 4th deadline
