Is Warren Buffett Shifting Toward Bitcoin? Insights from Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting

Story Highlights
  • Buffett warns the U.S. dollar is weakening fast due to endless money printing issues.

  • Berkshire Hathaway sold major stocks and now holds a record $347 billion in cash.

  • Buffettโ€™s concerns about inflation closely mirror why many believe in Bitcoinโ€™s fixed supply.

  • Some believe Berkshire may soon surpass MicroStrategy in Bitcoin holdings and investments.

At Berkshire Hathawayโ€™s 60th annual shareholder meeting, Warren Buffett made headlines, this time not for a bold investment move, but for sounding a serious warning about the weakening of the U.S. dollar.

While Buffett has long been known for his cautious stance on Bitcoin, but his recent words hint heโ€™s starting to see its value.

Buffett Warns of a Weakening Dollar

During his speech, Buffett expressed deep concerns over the United States’ fiscal policies. He explained that the U.S. government keeps printing more money, which causes the value of money to decrease over time.ย 

He said, โ€œFiscal policy is what scares me in the U.S.โ€ 

Buffett was clearly unhappy with how the U.S. economy is being managed by the government. He called current fiscal behavior โ€œalarmingโ€ and noted, “We wouldnโ€™t invest in a currency thatโ€™s going to โ€˜hellโ€™.” 

Berkshireโ€™s Moves Reflect Big Concerns

Buffettโ€™s words arenโ€™t just talk. His companyโ€™s recent actions back them up. In 2024 alone, Berkshire Hathaway sold $134 billion in stocks, including big names like Apple and Bank of America. At the same time, its cash pile soared to a record-breaking $347 billion.

This signals a defensive strategy. Buffett seems to be preparing for instability and keeping cash ready for opportunities or emergencies.

Is Buffett Hinting at Bitcoin?

Though he didnโ€™t name Bitcoin directly, Buffettโ€™s warnings align closely with why many people support it. Bitcoinโ€™s fixed supply and decentralized nature are seen by some as protection against the exact kind of monetary policy Buffett is worried about.

Buffett may not be supporting Bitcoin openly yet, but his words have started the discussion. And with todayโ€™s money problems, itโ€™s a conversation more and more people are ready to have.

Is Berkshire About to Go All-In on Bitcoin?

Some X users believe Berkshire Hathaway is exploring other currencies to invest in, and they donโ€™t think itโ€™ll be long before the company significantly invests in Bitcoin. The theory is that Berkshire might soon surpass MicroStrategy in Bitcoin holdings, with billions being deployed into the cryptocurrency.

With Berkshireโ€™s cautious, strategic approach to investing, could this be a signal that Buffett and his team are warming up to Bitcoin.
