Billionaire Buffett Divested Nearly Half of Apple Shares.

The Berkshire Hathaway fund, owned by Warren Buffett, has reduced its stake in Apple by nearly 50%. This was reported by CNN.

Instead of 790 million shares, Berkshire Hathaway left 400 million, which are valued at $84.2 billion.

This is not the first reduction in Berkshire Hathaway's investments in Apple, whose market capitalization exceeds $3.3 trillion. In the last three months of 2023, Buffett sold 10 million Apple shares, and in the first quarter of 2024, Berkshire reduced its stake in Apple by 13%.

At the same time, Berkshire Hathaway announced record cash assets of nearly $277 billion in the second quarter.

Buffett's fund also holds significant stakes in American Express ($35.1 billion), Coca-Cola ($25.5 billion), and Chevron ($18.6 billion).

According to Kantar's BrandZ research, the American company Apple was the first in the world to reach a brand value of over $1 trillion.

European Union regulators stated that Apple violates the union's technology rules by not allowing App Store users to use alternative services.
