Warren Buffet BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Warren Buffett is making headlines as he approaches his planned retirement at the end of 2025 after six decades leading Berkshire Hathaway. The 95-year-old investing legend is preparing to hand over the reins to his long-designated successor Greg Abel, who recently spoke to insurance subsidiary employees at Omaha's Holland Center, sharing his own journey from chartered accountant to future CEO.
The Oracle of Omaha's current strategy is raising eyebrows across Wall Street. Berkshire Hathaway is sitting on a staggering 344 billion dollars in cash, with about 314 billion parked in Treasury bills. This amount actually exceeds the Federal Reserve's own Treasury bill holdings of 195 billion dollars. Buffett has been a consistent net seller of stocks for 11 consecutive quarters, unloading 177 billion dollars worth of equities since late 2022. Most notably, he's been trimming his massive stakes in Apple and Bank of America while making only modest additions to positions in companies like Nucor and UnitedHealth Group.
Perhaps most telling, Buffett hasn't bought back a single share of his own company's stock in over 13 months, despite spending 78 billion dollars on buybacks over the previous six years. Analysts interpret this as a clear signal that he views current market valuations as too rich, even for Berkshire itself.
On a positive note, Berkshire's stock hit a bullish golden cross pattern this week for the first time in nearly three years, with its 50-day moving average crossing above the 200-day average. The stock has gained 8.4 percent in 2025, though it trails the broader S&P 500's 14.5 percent advance. Apple, still Berkshire's largest holding despite recent selling, reached a new all-time high of 265.29 dollars per share, putting it within striking distance of a 4 trillion dollar market cap.
Meanwhile, deep fake videos impersonating Buffett have been circulating online, falsely claiming he's endorsing gold and cryptocurrency investments. These scams contradict his well-documented skepticism toward both asset classes, with Buffett having famously called Bitcoin probably rat poison squared.
