Warren Buffett says he’s still making calls on investments at Berkshire, flags ‘tiny’ new buy
Squawk Box
Warren Buffett said he remains closely involved in investment decisions at Berkshire Hathaway even after stepping down as chief executive, adding that he recently made a “tiny” new purchase.
The 95-year-old investor said he still comes into the office daily and stays engaged with markets, working alongside colleagues on trades. Buffett described a routine that includes calling Mark Millard, Berkshire’s director of financial assets, before the opening bell to discuss market developments.
Millard, whose office sits about 20 feet away, executes trades based on those conversations, Buffett said, underscoring that he remains hands-on despite handing over the CEO role to Greg Abel in the beginning of 2026.
“I won’t make any [investments] that Greg thinks are wrong. … Greg gets the sheet every day,” Buffett said on “Squawk Box” Tuesday, referring to the firm’s regular investment updates. Asked whether he has made any new investments, he replied that he recently made “one tiny purchase,” without elaborating.
Buffett also downplayed recent market volatility, suggesting current conditions fall far short of past periods that created major buying opportunities.
“Three times since I took over, for sure it’s gone down more than 50%. … This is nothing to make you get excited,” Buffett said.
The “Oracle of Omaha” also revealed that Berkshire purchased $17 billion worth of Treasury bills this week at the weekly auction. Berkshire reported more than $370 billion in cash equivalents on the books at year-end, largely held in Treasury bills.
