Warren Buffett’s Selling Streak Leads to $373 Billion Cash Pile
Warren Buffett, nearing the end of his tenure as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKA; NYSE: BRKB), sold more stock than he bought for 13 consecutive quarters, culminating in a cash pile of $373 billion by the end of 2025. Recently, Buffett sold approximately $4.5 billion worth of shares, trimming Berkshire’s stakes in major positions including Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN).
Berkshire’s investment in Apple, which peaked at over $200 billion, still accounts for about 19% of the portfolio despite a significant reduction in holdings. In 2025, Apple’s trailing P/E ratio climbed to 34, prompting concerns over valuation. Meanwhile, Buffett has initiated a new investment in The New York Times (NYSE: NYT), which has seen a 9% revenue increase and an 18% rise in net income, reflecting its successful digital transformation amidst industry challenges.
