Buffett, a legendary investor with a fierce commitment to traditional value strategies, has made his distaste for cryptocurrencies clear over the years. From calling Bitcoin \u201crat poison squared\u201d to predicting it would \u201cend badly,\u201d his stance has been unwavering. Berkshire, under his leadership, has remained firmly on the sidelines of the crypto boom.<\/p>\n
But with Abel taking over the helm in 2026, the investment world is watching for any sign of change. While Abel has offered no public opinion on Bitcoin or other digital assets, his silence alone has fueled debate about whether Berkshire could eventually warm to the space \u2014 even if only marginally.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s precedent for openness, however subtle. Berkshire has previously invested in Brazil-based Nu Holdings, a digital bank with active crypto exposure. The company poured hundreds of millions into the platform and quietly increased its stake in recent quarters \u2014 a move that suggests at least some flexibility among Berkshire\u2019s decision-makers.<\/p>\n
