The valuation of ByteDance is approaching US$400 billion for private-equity investors, a source told the South China Morning Post, as the Chinese owner of short video-sharing app TikTok cements its leading position among global tech unicorns.

The person, who was briefed on the matter, said the value of the Beijing-based start-up has been swelling in the private market as it considers a public listing for TikTok’s Chinese sibling app Douyin.
