DATELINE: OMAHA, NEBRASKA

HEADLINE: BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY REPORTS RECORD CASH RESERVE, SHIFTS INVESTMENT STRATEGY AMID MARKET VOLATILITY

OMAHA, NE – Berkshire Hathaway Inc., the multinational conglomerate holding company led by Chairman and CEO Warren Buffett, today announced a historic cash reserve of approximately $325 billion, prompting a significant recalibration of its market investment strategy.

WHAT: The company disclosed in its quarterly earnings report that its cash hoard has reached an all-time high, exceeding previous records by a substantial margin. This cash position is attributed to ongoing divestiture of select equity positions and a lack of major acquisition opportunities that meet the firm’s stringent valuation criteria. In a related move, Berkshire has decreased its holdings in several key sectors, including financial services and energy, while increasing its stake in a limited number of consumer goods firms.

WHO: The announcement was made by Berkshire Hathaway’s management, with an accompanying statement from Mr. Buffett. The statement emphasized that the decision reflects a “disciplined approach” to capital allocation in the current macroeconomic environment.

WHEN: The financial figures were released on Saturday, following the close of regular trading. The company’s annual shareholder meeting is scheduled for next week, where Mr. Buffett is expected to field direct questions on the strategy.

WHERE: The report was published from Berkshire Hathaway’s headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska.

WHY: Management cited persistent U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate policy, geopolitical uncertainty, and elevated equity valuations as primary factors for the cautious posture. The report noted that “sizable, well-priced acquisition opportunities” remain scarce, forcing the conglomerate to prioritize liquidity over deployment of capital.

HOW: The record cash reserve was achieved through a combination of reducing stock portfolios, generating substantial operating income from subsidiary businesses
