2 hours ago

Monday, February 10 The Nikkei 225 index surged more than 2,000 points on Monday, hitting the 56,000-point mark for the first time ever—pushing the value of Berkshire Hathaway’s Japanese assets (its stakes in five major trading houses) above $41 billion. Since 2019, Warren Buffett—who stepped down as Berkshire’s CEO—has placed a series of large bets on Japanese stocks. Monday’s sharp Tokyo rally lifted shares of those related firms, delivering a nearly $2 billion unrealized gain in one day. Per Berkshire Hathaway’s financial filings, the investment cost was approximately $13.8 billion, meaning the holding has nearly doubled in value.
