Warren Buffett to Step Down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway
Billionaire Warren Buffett will retire as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway by the end of 2025, concluding a 60-year tenure during which he oversaw a $309 billion investment portfolio. Despite his long-standing optimism about the U.S. economy, Buffett has been a net seller of stocks for the past three years, amassing roughly $382 billion in cash and equivalents.
As of September 2025, Buffett’s selling activity totaled approximately $184 billion over the last 12 quarters, marking a critical shift in strategy as he prioritizes valuation amidst historically high market prices. The Buffett Indicator, which tracks the ratio of the market capitalization of U.S. public companies to GDP, recently hit an all-time high of 223%, indicating the current overvaluation of stocks.
