Warren Buffett says he’s still making investment calls at Berkshire, flags ‘tiny’ buy

Warren Buffett, the legendary investor and former chief executive of Berkshire Hathaway, recently revealed in an interview with CNBC’s Becky Quick that he remains actively involved in investment decisions at the conglomerate. Despite stepping down as CEO and handing over the reins to Greg Abel in 2026, the 95-year-old Buffett continues to come into the office daily and closely monitors market developments.

Buffett disclosed that he still collaborates with colleagues on trades, with a routine that includes discussing market developments with Mark Millard, Berkshire’s director of financial assets, before the opening bell. Millard executes trades based on these conversations, highlighting Buffett’s hands-on approach to investing.

When asked about any recent investment decisions, Buffett mentioned that he had made a “tiny” new purchase, emphasizing that he consults with Abel before making any investment moves. He downplayed recent market volatility, stating that current conditions do not compare to past periods of significant market downturns that presented major buying opportunities.

In addition to his investment activities, Buffett shared that Berkshire recently purchased $17 billion worth of Treasury bills at a weekly auction. The conglomerate reported holding over $370 billion in cash equivalents at year-end, primarily in Treasury bills.

Overall, Buffett’s continued involvement in investment decisions at Berkshire Hathaway underscores his enduring influence in the world of finance. His disciplined approach to investing and long-term perspective remain key pillars of his success as the “Oracle of Omaha.”
