Berkshire Hathaway is a global holding company and conglomerate headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, that manages a diverse portfolio of subsidiary businesses and equity investments. Under the long-term leadership of Warren Buffett and current CEO Greg Abel, the company operates a decentralized business model where subsidiaries in sectors such as insurance (GEICO, National Indemnity), freight rail (BNSF), energy (Berkshire Hathaway Energy), and manufacturing run with near-complete autonomy. A central component of its strategy involves utilizing the "float" from its massive insurance operations to fund large-scale acquisitions and maintain significant equity stakes in major public corporations like Apple and Coca-Cola. Known for its disciplined value-investing philosophy and fortress balance sheet, the firm focuses on long-term capital allocation and acquiring businesses with durable competitive advantages.
