According to The Kobeissi Letter, Berkshire Hathaway currently holds approximately $305.5 billion in US Treasury Bills, which is about $110.2 billion more than the US Federal Reserve’s $195.3 billion T-bill holdings. This means Berkshire Hathaway’s T-bill balance is roughly 56% higher than the Fed's, signaling a significant shift in institutional allocation towards short-term US government debt.
