> But these buyers don't want the actual value of TikTok to drop to zero

Quick reminder: TikTok is available for most of the planet (except China), so a US ban does not make the actual value of TikTok to drop to zero.

It makes a sell-off very unlikely, but I doubt it's going to happen no matter what.

It's quite puzzling why ByteDance didn't bring up the idea of making a TikTok US in the same way TikTok CN (a.k.a. Douyin) works.
