We recently learned that Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B) was yet again a net seller of stocks in the second quarter of 2025. We don’t yet have all the details about what the Warren Buffett-led conglomerate bought and sold, but we know that several billion dollars’ worth of stocks were disposed of.

In fact, after this investment — which is just the latest in a series of additions — Berkshire now owns 37% of Sirius.
The short explanation is that Buffett most likely added more shares of SiriusXM because the stock is extremely cheap. As of this writing,…
