The Berksshire Hathaway cash crowd eventually increased to a record $ 334.2 billion last year, as Warren Buffett threw shares and inserted billions of dollars in interest rates from a huge box office.
Berksshire, headquartered in Omahi, said on Saturday that her monetary position had increased by $ 9 billion in the last three months of last year, while Buffett had been producing roles in Blue Chip’s American sections, including the sale of shares at Citigroup and Bank of America. The finished pile of group has almost doubled in the last year.
The widespread conglomerate reported on an operational earnings of $ 47.4 billion for 2024, which is 27 percent increasing from 2023, led by a stronger effect of his insurance business.
The results of the business exclude changes in the values of Berkshire’s stock portfolio of $ 272 billion, a swing that Buffett has long rejected as mostly meaningless.
Berksshire put $ 143 billion in stock in 2024, far out of it over $ 9 billion floating in capital and put most of his income in short -term treasury accounts.
The results of the fourth quarter of the group were published together with Buffett’s Annual Letter to Dioners.
“In 2024 Berksshire did better than I expected, although 53 percent of our 189 operational companies reported a decline in earnings,” Buffett wrote to shareholders. “We were helped by a predictable big gain in investing in treasury revenues, we improved and we significantly increased the proportion of these high-teaching short-term securities.”
