In a striking demonstration of conservative financial positioning amidst global market uncertainty, Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has amassed a staggering $300.87 billion in U.S. Treasury bills, accounting for an estimated 4.89% of the entire T-bill market, according to Berkshire’s latest financial reports.
The Numbers Behind the Stake
According to Berkshire Hathaway’s (BRK.A) (BRK.B) latest financial disclosures, the company held:

・$14.4 billion in U.S. Treasury bills classified as cash equivalents (with maturities under three months), and
・$286.47 billion in short-term investments explicitly allocated to Treasury bills.
This brings the conglomerate’s total T-bill holdings to $300.87 billion.
Meanwhile, data from the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Monthly Statement of the Public Debt (MSPD) reports that the total T-bill market stood at approximately $6.15 trillion at the end of March 2025. That means Buffett's holding represents nearly 1 in every 20 dollars circulating in the U.S. Treasury bill system.
Buffett’s Strategic Conservatism
Buffett has long championed liquidity and risk aversion in times of elevated asset valuations or economic ambiguity. Treasury bills, short-dated government securities known for their safety and near-zero default risk, have become a favored parking spot for Berkshire’s growing cash hoard. This isn’t a strategy unique to Berkshire Hathaway. Apple, for example, has a respectable $30 billion cash and cash equivalents position, of which $15.5 billion is in Treasury securities.
