Berkshire Hathaway's cash reserves have grown to $380 billion as the investment conglomerate extended its streak of being a net seller of stocks to 14 consecutive quarters.

The company, led by Warren Buffett, has been systematically reducing its equity holdings while building what has become one of the largest cash piles in corporate history. This marks the longest sustained period of net stock sales for the Omaha-based investment firm in recent years.

The accumulation of cash comes as Berkshire has been selling positions across its portfolio rather than making major new investments. The $380 billion figure represents a significant increase from previous quarters and underscores the company's cautious approach to current market conditions.

Berkshire's strategy of maintaining substantial cash reserves has historically allowed the company to make large acquisitions and investments during market downturns. The current cash level provides the firm with considerable flexibility for future strategic moves.

The continued stock sales and cash accumulation occur amid broader market uncertainty and elevated valuations across many sectors. Berkshire's approach contrasts with many other major investors who have been deploying capital more aggressively in recent quarters.
