Berkshire Hathaway’s Cash Holdings Reach Record High Before Leadership Change

Berkshire Hathaway’s cash reserves rose to an unprecedented $381.7 billion, reflecting the company’s cautious stance on elevated global market valuations. The latest quarterly report showed profit growth across core insurance and energy units, even as new investments slowed. Analysts note that the company’s balance sheet signals strategic restraint in the current environment. This update comes ahead of Warren Buffett’s scheduled transition, marking one of the firm’s strongest liquidity positions in its history.
