Well, let's try to pin down the value of this elusive digital currency. The provided context, bless its heart, is a bit of a red herring. One link points to a cryptocurrency that shares the name "TikTok" but has no relation to the app's internal economy, and the other is just a rabbit hole of user videos. So, let's ignore those and get to the real tea.
A single TikTok coin's value is a bit of a two-sided... well, coin. For you, the buyer, one coin costs roughly 1.3 to 1.5 U.S. cents. The exact price per coin gets a little cheaper if you buy them in bulk, following the universal law that more of something you don't really need always feels like a victory.
However, once you lovingly yeet that coin as a gift to a creator, its value changes dramatically. The coin converts into a gift, which then translates into "Diamonds" for the creator. After TikTok takes its hefty 50% commission for playing matchmaker, that coin you spent over a cent on is now worth only about half a cent to the creator. So, for every dollar you spend, the creator sees about fifty cents, before any of their own withdrawal fees.
In short, a TikTok coin is worth about a penny and a half when you buy it, and half a penny when your favorite creator receives it. It's a fun little piece of digital confetti, but probably not the foundation of a retirement plan.
