Triller has secured $50 million in equity funding from institutional investors, led by KCP Holdings, as TikTok faces potential U.S. restrictions. The video-sharing platform plans to use the capital for developing AI-driven tools, improved livestreaming capabilities, and enhanced video editing features.

Key Developments:

• KCP Holdings to purchase up to 6.36 million common shares at $2.20 each
• KCP founder Roger Kennedy joining Triller Group board
• Additional fundraising planned for later this year
• Notable backers include Conor McGregor, The Weeknd, Marshmello, and Lil Wayne

Recent Company Changes:

• Listed on NASDAQ through SPAC merger
• Appointed Wing-Fai Ng as CEO after planned CEO Kevin McGurn didn't join
• Hired former TikTok exec Sean Kim to lead the app
• Launched TikTok video backup service in early 2025

Current Challenges:

• Copyright lawsuit from Anthem Entertainment
• $35 million+ promissory note dispute
• Former board chair Robert Diamond's $5 million compensation lawsuit
• Historical licensing issues with major music labels

The company emphasizes its growth strategy is independent of TikTok's fate, though a potential TikTok ban could create new opportunities. Triller continues to expand its licensed music offerings, despite ongoing legal challenges with various music rights holders.
