Berkshire Hathaway's Cash and Short-term Treasury Holdings Reach Record $397.4 Billion

During Q1, net sales of $8.1 billion in stocks occurred, while insurance underwriting profits grew by 28.5%, pushing cash to a new high, far exceeding the previous peak of $381.7 billion.

In the market mechanism, Berkshire continues to act as a net seller, primarily allocating cash to short-term Treasuries for yield, waiting for reasonably valued large-scale acquisition opportunities. Current high valuation environments limit large deployments, with cash providing strategic flexibility and defensive buffer.
