Berkshire Hathaway reports $299.3 billion in assets, Apple makes up 22% of the portfolio
Under Warren Buffett's leadership, Berkshire Hathaway reported $299.3 billion in assets for Q3 2026; Apple Inc. makes up 22% of the portfolio with $65.95 billion.
Berkshire Hathaway, led by Warren Buffett, reported a market portfolio of $299.3 billion as of September 30, 2026, spread across 26 different positions.
The Form 13F, required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), must be filed within 45 days after the end of the quarter and only lists long equity positions in U.S. stocks, excluding short sales, options, and foreign assets.
The manager, Warren Buffett, applies an investment strategy focused on value, prioritizing undervalued securities with sustainable competitive advantages, which is reflected in the portfolio's concentration on high-cap companies.
Major New Positions and Strengthens
According to available information, the filing for Q3 2026 does not mention any new positions or significant increases compared to previous filings.
Cuts and Exits: What Buffett is Leaving Behind
According to available information, no reductions or full exits are explicitly stated in this quarter's 13F filing.
The Limits of the 13F: What This Filing DOESN'T Say
The 13F does not reveal short positions, option contracts, shares held in foreign subsidiaries, or moves made after the quarter's closing date; there is therefore a 45-day lag between the reality of the portfolio and its official publication.
Apple Inc. represents $65.95 billion, or 22.0% of the portfolio, with 227,917,808 shares held, making it the top position in the fund.
American Express Co. totals $51.28 billion, or 17.1% of the portfolio, with 151,610,700 shares, reinforcing the fund's presence in the financial sector.
Alphabet Inc. is valued at $37.76 billion, corresponding to 12.6% of the portfolio, and includes 105,979,600 shares, highlighting the fund's technological exposure.
Coca-Cola Co. reaches $32.51 billion, or 10.9% of the portfolio, with 400,000,000 shares, illustrating Buffett's historical preference for durable consumer brands.
Bank of America Corp. represents $27.54 billion, equivalent to 9.2% of the portfolio, with 483,394,015 shares, strengthening the fund's position in the U.S. banking sector.

The remaining 16 positions total $26.8 billion, or 8.9% of the portfolio, spread across undetailed non-top-10 securities.
The top five positions â Apple, American Express, Alphabet, Coca-Cola, and Bank of America â account for 71.8% of the total portfolio value, revealing significant concentration on major holdings.
With 26 distinct positions, the fund maintains relative diversification, but the high percentage of major positions indicates a preference for companies deemed to have strong long-term cash-flow generation capabilities.
For individual investors, the 13F filing constitutes an official and transparent source for tracking the allocation choices of one of the world's largest investment funds, even though the publication delay and the absence of data on short sales or options limit real-time visibility.
