BUFFETT WARREN E 4

What Happened
Warren E. Buffett (reported as a 10% owner) made a gift of 2 shares of Berkshire Hathaway Class A common stock on March 17, 2026. The Form 4 lists the transaction as a gift (code G); no sale price or proceeds are reported. Per the filing, each Class A share is convertible into 1,500 Class B shares, so the gift is equivalent to 3,000 Class B shares. Footnote F1 states the recipient was a charitable organization.

Context
Gifts to charity are common and do not necessarily reflect insider sentiment about the stock; they may be for philanthropic, tax, or estate-planning reasons. The number of shares gifted (2 Class A shares) is very small relative to typical Berkshire Hathaway insider holdings. The filing appears timely and straightforward.
