Bitcoin ETF on Warren Buffett’s Radar? Nate Geraci Says Bring It On

As a seasoned researcher who has closely followed the investment landscape for decades, I find Warren Buffet’s recent portfolio moves to be both fascinating and expected. While it might seem surprising to some that Berkshire Hathaway is scaling back on tech giants like Apple, Capital One Finance, and Floor & Decor, it is in line with Buffett’s strategy of diversification and value investing.


As a seasoned investor with over three decades of experience under my belt, I have learned that changes in a company’s portfolio are not uncommon and can often signal shifts in market trends or the company’s own strategic direction. In this instance, Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway’s recent moves to reduce its position in tech giant Apple by nearly 50%, Capital One Finance by 21.27% and Floor & Decor by 16.78% caught my attention, as these were the largest declines in Berkshire Hathaway’s portfolio. It is possible that Buffet sees these companies as overvalued or believes that there are better investment opportunities elsewhere.

The company expanded its list by incorporating Ulta Beauty and HEICO Corp. At present, the overall worth of Warren Buffett’s company amounts to an astounding $279.97 billion.

Geraci speculated that if Warren Buffet were to invest in Bitcoin or Ethereum ETFs, there would likely be chaos within the crypto community – he predicted a total collapse.

Buffet and Bitcoin

It’s quite unexpected given Warren Buffett’s well-known criticism of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. In the past, he has referred to them as a form of gambling and claimed they have no inherent value, even going so far as to compare them to the Dutch tulip mania of the 17th century.

Contrarily, although Warren Buffet’s criticism of Bitcoin has been widely publicized, it’s important to mention that Berkshire Hathaway has invested in Nu Holdings, a Brazilian financial technology firm offering cryptocurrency services.
