Berkshire Hathaway Trims Apple Stake 6.7% in Q2 Filing

Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway disclosed in its second-quarter 2025 13F filing that it sold 20 million Apple Inc. shares, trimming its holding by 6.7% to about 280 million shares. Despite the sale, the iPhone maker remains the conglomerate’s single largest equity investment. The latest divestiture extends a multiyear effort by Berkshire to lighten its exposure to publicly traded equities, according to the filing. Apple’s position has been whittled down in several rounds since 2024, reflecting what Buffett has previously described as portfolio “rebalancing.” Berkshire also pared other positions during the quarter, cutting 26.3 million Bank of America shares (down 4%), 923,000 Charter Communications shares (down 46%), and 493,000 shares in Liberty Media Formula One’s Series C stock. The regulatory disclosure does not detail Berkshire’s reasons for the adjustments.
