Diamond
TikTok's credit unit for gift recipients. The creator's diamond count for any gift equals the coin count the sender spent.
Also known as: Diamond count, ◆
A diamond is the unit TikTok credits to a creator when a viewer sends a gift on TikTok Live. The diamond count for any gift equals the coin count the sender spent — every gift is priced in coins, and the conversion to diamonds is one-to-one.
One diamond is worth approximately $0.005 USD as a face-value, pre-split, pre-TikTok-cut figure. A 1,000-diamond gift represents about $5 of creator-side value, before any agency split or withdrawal cut.
Diamond totals are the most stable way to talk about TikTok Live earnings — they're exact integers tied to the underlying gift events, and they don't depend on TikTok's vendor-controlled USD exchange rate. Streampace leads with raw diamond totals everywhere and surfaces USD only as a secondary clarifier.
