On August 2, Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A.N, BRK.B.N) cash reserves fell by 1% to $344 billion in the three months ending in June, marking the first decline in cash reserves in three years.

Previously, due to Buffett's difficulty in finding investment opportunities, cash reserves frequently hit historical highs. In the second quarter, Buffett became more cautious about the stock market, net selling about $3 billion in stocks, and even paused Berkshire's stock buybacks for four consecutive quarters—despite the stock price having fallen 12% since announcing the handover of the CEO in May.

Having so much cash is useless, I'm really feeling restless.

With the data being so cold, the valuation of art pieces in the market should cool down as well. Can it keep rising to the sky?

Analyzing based on the principles of Token economics, Buffett's recent operations essentially belong to the phenomenon of Liquidity rebalancing, and the data supporting the governance costs reinforces this hypothesis.
