Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has initiated the deployment of its massive $397.4 billion cash reserve, ending a period of accumulation that spanned 14 consecutive quarters. This move signals a significant shift in strategy for the conglomerate, which had previously been focused on building liquidity.
During the second quarter, Berkshire transitioned into a net buyer of equities, reversing its recent trend of selling off holdings. The firm executed $19.8 billion in net stock purchases throughout the period, marking a decisive pivot toward market investment after years of stockpiling capital.
