Warren Buffett’s legendary annual donations to the Gates Foundation have ended—after nearly two decades of gifting over $47 billion in Berkshire Hathaway stock—following a review of Gates’ recent associations. Despite their 35-year friendship, Buffett’s financial support is now off the table, though his influence remains deeply embedded in the foundation’s portfolio. The top four holdings—Berkshire Hathaway, Waste Management, Caterpillar, and Canadian National Railway—make up nearly 80% of their $34 billion stock stash, reflecting Buffett’s signature “boring but brilliant” long-term bets. While the foundation must spend donated funds plus a bit more, they’ve quietly sold only small portions of these Buffett picks each quarter. With the big annual gift gone, the question now is whether they’ll pivot—or stick to the steady, shareholder-friendly strategies Buffett helped build.
