Berkshire Hathaway Valuation

Timeline of Berkshire Hathaway Funding

1965
Warren Buffett took control of Berkshire Hathaway, then a struggling textile mill. He began redirecting capital toward insurance and investments.
1967
Acquired National Indemnity for $8.6 million, entering the insurance business. This created the "float" model that funds Berkshire's investments.
1996
Issued Class B shares (BRK.B) at 1/30th of Class A price. This raised capital and gave retail investors access without diluting Buffett's control.
2010
Completed $26.5 billion acquisition of Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF), the largest deal in Berkshire's history at that time.
2016
Acquired Precision Castparts for $37.2 billion, Berkshire's largest-ever acquisition. Funded entirely from internal cash reserves and insurance float.
2020–25
Spent over $75 billion on share buybacks, repurchasing BRK.A and BRK.B stock. Cash reserves grew to a record $334 billion by late 2025.
2026
Closed $9.7 billion acquisition of OxyChem from Occidental Petroleum on January 2, adding an industrial chemical operation to the portfolio.
