The Gates Foundation, previously known as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Trust, owns a substantial amount of Berkshire Hathaway stock as disclosed in its latest 13F filing. While Microsoft remains the largest position in the trust's portfolio, valued at around $15.4 billion, Berkshire Hathaway is the third-largest at approximately $7.3 billion. Despite a recent reduction in the foundation's stake in Berkshire Hathaway due to stipulations on how donated stock must be used, there are still significant funds available for charitable purposes.
