According to Beating Monitor, sources familiar with the matter say ByteDance is offering discounted stock options tied to its Seed AI division for employees within that unit. This marks ByteDance’s first issuance of equity specifically linked to a particular business unit. The incentive allows employees to share in the growth gains of the Seed division without their returns being diluted by the performance of other ByteDance business lines. Sources indicate that ByteDance has opened subscription rights for “DouBao shares” to Seed employees worldwide this month at $13 per share. Since being granted at approximately $10 per share at the end of last year, the value of DouBao shares has risen nearly 30%.
