Warren Buffett’s Firm Sells Another $1 Billion of Bank of America Stock but Still Holds Almost 12 Percent

Berkshire Hathaway has steadily sold off 116 million Bank of America shares since July. But it still controls nearly 12 percent of the stock in the bank based in Charlotte, North Carolina.

After the sale was disclosed, Berkshire’s Class A stock—already the most expensive stock on Wall Street—gained $7,184.62 Wednesday to sell for $698,534.62.

That elevated the conglomerate based in Omaha, Nebraska, into the club of companies valued by the stock market at over $1 trillion. But that’s still well shy of market behemoths Nvidia and Microsoft, now valued at over $3 trillion.
