TikTok's payment policy
TikTok pays for music used in videos, but only since spring 2020, following complaints from major labels.

Real earnings example
The creator received $37.41 for 4,555 videos, which calculates to approximately $0.008 per video or $8.2 per thousand videos.

Monetization strategy
To maximize earnings, creators should encourage users to create new videos with their music, as each new video generates a fixed payment.
TikTok pays music creators per new video created with their music, not per stream, and the rate is roughly $8.2 per thousand videos.
