Liquidity and Cash Position

BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY INC · 2026-07-29 · Importance 50 · Surprise 24

Third-party reports describe Berkshire Hathaway's cash pile as nearly $400 billion, giving incoming CEO Greg Abel substantial flexibility for acquisitions and investments. Reports also characterize Berkshire as having built a $397 billion war chest and continuing a long net-selling streak, with nearly $195 billion more stock sold than purchased over the 14 quarters through March 31, 2026. Stock buybacks were reportedly ramping up in the second quarter, although no precise repurchase amount was provided. The cash position leaves Berkshire exposed to reinvestment risk if attractive acquisition opportunities remain scarce.
