Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) always make headlines in February when the firm holds its annual meeting. Among the many takeaways is what the company has been buying and selling and how invested it is in the market. A critical detail from the 2025 meeting is that Berkshire Hathaway’s cash pile hit a record high, suggesting the Oracle of Omaha and his investment Colossus are on the sidelines.
[content-module:CompanyOverview|NYSE:BRK.A]The cash pile didn’t just grow; Berkshire Hathaway’s cash pile ballooned by nearly 70%, rising by $134 billion to over $330 billion, more significant than the market cap of 94% of the S&P 500 (NYSEARCA: SPY). The cash build is due to massive sales in top names like Bank of America (NYSE: BAC), Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), American Express (NYSE: AXP), and The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO), suggesting they are overvalued and at risk of a significant correction.
