That’s a massive position. Warren Buffett holding nearly 5% of the entire U.S. Treasury bill market is a power move in classic Buffett fashion—prioritizing liquidity, safety, and optionality.
Here’s what’s wild about it:
$300.87 billion in short-term T-bills = pure bet on preservation of capital.
No risk-on assets (stocks, crypto, or corporate bonds) in this chunk—just short-term U.S. government debt.
In essence, Buffett is saying: “I’m waiting. I’ve got dry powder. And I don’t like the valuations or risk profile of most things right now.”
This signals a few things:
1. Caution: He’s expecting either better buying opportunities or rougher markets ahead.
2. Yield isn’t terrible: T-bills are finally paying something decent again with higher interest rates.
3. Flexibility: This cash can be deployed fast if the market drops or a major deal arises.
This kind of move adds weight to the whole #USStockDrop and #CryptoMarketCapBackTo3T narrative—Buffett’s not chasing returns, he’s playing defense.
What’s your read—do you see this as bearish for equities, or just Buffett being Buffett?
