As of May 8, 2025, Warren Buffettās Berkshire Hathaway is sitting on a record-shattering $347.7 billion in cash.
This isnāt just smart investingāitās a signal. A loud, historic, and potentially ominous one.
Buffett has a pattern:
1999: Cash before the Dot-Com Crash
2007ā2008: Piled cash pre-Global Financial Crisis
2019: Liquid before the COVID Crash
2025: Nowāand the pile is bigger than ever.
This year alone, Berkshireās Q1 operating profit dropped 14%. With major insurance losses, foreign exchange hits, and minimal stock purchases, Buffett is not playing offense.
For the 10th consecutive quarter, Berkshire sold more equities than it bought.
And hereās the kicker:
āI donāt see anything worth buying.ā ā Warren Buffett
Thatās not fear. Thatās foresight.
Now add this twist:
Buffett has confirmed heāll step down by end of 2025, handing the empire to Greg Abel.
A historic cash mountain.
A market on edge.
A leadership transition.
Is Berkshire preparing for a crash, a once-in-a-generation buying opportunityāor both?
To the #AMAGE and financial freedom community:
Whatās your take?
Is this the calm before a global economic storm, or just classic Buffett discipline?
