Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway increased its short-dated Treasury holdings to $305.5 billion in Q1 2025, surpassing Taiwan as the 11th-largest foreign holder of U.S. debt. This marks a 6.64% rise from $286.472 billion in Q4 2024. The firm allocated most of its cash reserves to U.S. Treasuries, holding $263.7 billion in equity securities and maintaining a $36.9 billion cash position as of the end of March 2025. In addition to boosting Treasury holdings, Berkshire Hathaway sold $3.23 billion worth of shares in major banks. The firm fully exited Citigroup, selling shares worth $1 billion, while significantly reducing stakes in Bank of America by offloading 48.7 million shares valued at approximately $2.19 billion, and Capital One by selling 300,000 shares worth around $46.5 million. If Berkshire Hathaway were a country, it would rank as the 11th-largest foreign holder of U.S. Treasury securities, just behind France, Ireland, and Switzerland. This strategic move reflects Buffett’s preference for safe-haven assets amid market uncertainties, while repositioning away from banking sector equities.
