AI Summary
Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) sold its remaining 3.99 million shares of Mastercard (MA) in Q1 2026, at an average closing price of $525.64. This sale reflects a significant exit from the position that began in 2011 with an initial acquisition of 216,000 shares. Berkshire trimmed its holdings over the years, with the final exit coinciding with a notable shift in management following Warren Buffett’s retirement. Despite this divestment, Mastercard reported strong growth in value-added services, comprising 40% of its revenue, and remains focused on expanding digital payment solutions.
