Insights

Berkshire reports a large, passive 7.8% stake in Bank of America.

Berkshire Hathaway, led by Warren E. Buffett, reports beneficial ownership of 568,070,012 shares of Bank of America common stock, equal to 7.8% of the class. Voting and dispositive authority over these shares is described as shared among Berkshire and numerous insurance and finance subsidiaries, with no sole voting or dispositive power listed.

The use of Schedule 13G/A and the explicit certification that the securities "were not acquired and are not held" to change or influence control frame this as a passive ownership position. This distinguishes it from activist or control-focused filings and aligns with long-term portfolio-style holdings often associated with Berkshire’s insurance and investment operations.

Within the group, several entities report sizeable blocks, such as National Indemnity Company and multiple GEICO-branded companies, while Berkshire Hathaway Inc. itself is identified as a parent holding company and control person. Future changes in the reported share count or percentage in subsequent ownership reports would indicate adjustments to this large strategic position.
