Shares of Rumble Inc., an online video-sharing platform, grew by 14.01 percent week-on-week to end at $12.90 apiece as investor confidence was fueled by the US government’s plan to ban TikTok in the country.

ByteDance, operator of TikTok which boasts as many as 170 million American users, was forced by the government to sell its US operations to an American company or face a ban over fears that its being operated by a Chinese company could pose a threat to US citizens’ sensitive information.

Last year, Rumble Inc. offered to buy TikTok, saying it was open to joining a consortium with other parties, albeit the details of the plans were not disclosed.

Regardless of whether Rumble (RUM) acquires TikTok, it stands to benefit from a potential surge in advertising payments that would have otherwise gone to TikTok. As of Sunday, January 19, TikTok is no longer active in the US.
