Warren Buffett has significantly increased his stake in safe-haven assets, pouring $305.5 billion into US Treasuries and reducing his holdings in major banking giants. According to the latest SEC filings, Berkshire Hathaway’s cash reserves are now valued at $305.501 billion, a 6.64% increase from Q4 2024.
Buffett has allocated most of Berkshire’s cash to US Treasuries, with its debt holdings surpassing Taiwan’s at over $297 billion. This would make the investment firm the 11th-largest foreign holder of Treasury Securities if it were a nation.
The billionaire investor’s push for yield on his cash comes after selling off shares in Citigroup, Bank of America, and Capital One last quarter. Berkshire fully exited its stake in Citigroup, while also dumping 48.7 million shares worth $2.19 billion in Bank of America and 300,000 shares worth $46.5 million in Capital One.
This strategic move suggests that Buffett is diversifying his portfolio to minimize risk and maximize returns. With this increased focus on safe-haven assets, Berkshire Hathaway is positioning itself for potential economic uncertainty ahead.
