Berkshire Hathaway, under the leadership of CEO Greg Abel, has significantly adjusted its holdings according to its latest 13F filing. The conglomerate divested approximately 30.2 million shares of Bank of America, a reduction of 5.9% translating to about $1.7 billion based on quarter-end valuations. This move extends a trend of decreasing its exposure to the financial institution, which has seen its stake halved over the past two years.
