Bill Gates is unloading billions of dollars in shares of the company he co-founded, Microsoft (MSFT), while reducing a significant portion of his stake in Warren Buffett\u2019s Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B).<\/p>\n

The 13F filing of the Gates Foundation Trust shows that Gates sold 1,500,000 MSFT shares, valued at $1.04 billion, in Q4 of 2025.<\/p>\n

The move trimmed<\/a> the foundation\u2019s Microsoft holdings from 9,191,207 shares in Q3 to 7,691,207 by the next quarter, representing a 16% decline. As of December 31st, the Gates Foundation Trust\u2019s MSFT ownership stands at $3.719 billion.<\/p>\n

The foundation also dumped $1.187 billion worth of Berkshire Hathaway shares in Q4, cutting its position by 2,358,460 BRK-B shares. At the end of Q4 2025, the Gates Foundation Trust owns 19,406,764 BRK-B shares valued at $9.754 billion.<\/p>\n

On top of selling portions of its MSFT and BRK-B stakes, the Gates Foundation Trust did not unload any of its other holdings. It also did not accumulate or add to any of its existing positions.<\/p>\n

Looking at the foundation\u2019s portfolio, Berkshire Hathaway remains at the top, even after the massive sale, accounting<\/a> for 27.59% of its total holdings. Coming in at number two is the environmental services provider Waste Management (WM), allocating 17.98% of its portfolio to WM. Other major holdings in the foundation\u2019s portfolio include the Canadian National Railway Company (CNR.TO), Microsoft and Caterpillar (CAT) at 14.49%, 10.52% and 10.29%, respectively.<\/p>\n

The Gates Foundation Trust currently oversees over $35 billion in securities.<\/p>\n
