Manus's Early Backers Plan $2B Buyback From Meta

Manus's original investors — Chinese backers including HSG, ZhenFund and Tencent — are planning to buy the AI startup back from Meta at the same $2 billion price Meta paid in December 2025, according to reports surfacing in June 2026. The move comes as Meta unwinds the acquisition under a Chinese government national-security order, and a sharp post-deal revenue surge could hand the investors a windfall.
