ByteDance's secondary activity has traded consistently above its own buyback price — a block trade at $480B (~45% above the buyback), a continuation fund raising at $350–370B, and a recurring employee buyback itself up 5.5% year over year — making it the tracker's clearest example of sustained premium demand in China.
Is the valuation on this page an official company valuation?
No. Secondary marks reflect the price a buyer and seller agreed on (or are discussing) in a specific transaction, not a valuation the company itself set. They are a useful demand signal, not an audited or company-endorsed figure.
