Why Warren Buffett Just Sold 15% of His Apple Stake and Is Putting Money Here Instead

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway sold 15% of its Apple stake in Q3 2025, reducing it to 20.9% of its portfolio. The company is instead parking over $305 billion in U.S. Treasury bills, earning around 3.66% annually. The moves reflect profit-taking ahead of potential tax rate changes and Apple's expensive valuation relative to growth expectations.
