BlockBeats reports,October 22, according to BIT(bit.com) market data, Berkshire Class A shares (BRK.A) rose 0.8%, while Class B shares (BRK.B) rose 1.1%, reaching 544.73 USD. Class B shares refreshed their all-time high, breaking through May 2, 2025 previous high.May 3, 2025, Warren Buffett announced that he would step down after leading the company for nearly 60 years,CEO and the share price declined for several consecutive months after the announcement. His successor, Greg Abel, had been formally in the role for less than 1 year when he had already resumed share buybacks and finalized two multibillion-USD-scale transactions: acquiring Taylor Morrison Home-related assets to expand the homebuilding business and taking a stake in Google parent Alphabet to bet on artificial intelligence. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods analyst Meyer Shields said the company still holds approximately 360000000000 USD in cash, and relatively high short-term interest rates in the United States are helping it earn more from it. Meanwhile, Apple and Coca-Cola shares hit records in succession; after its sharp rise, Coca-Cola even surpassed Google to become the third-largest holding, while the sixth-largest holding, Chevron, also benefited from rising oil prices. Berkshire is expected to November 7 release its third-quarter financial results.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
The core of the news is that Berkshire Hathaway Class B shares rose above their previous high. The report also listed share buybacks, transactions, cash holdings, and the performance of certain holdings as supplemental information on the company’s recent situation.
Why it matters to readers
The record high reflects strong share-price performance at the time referenced in the report; the upcoming third-quarter financial results may provide information on buybacks, cash, and investment allocation.
Beginners should distinguish between “the share price reaching a record high” and “the company’s fundamentals having definitively improved”: the former is a market-performance result, while the latter still requires assessment based on financial results and company disclosures.
Risks and unknowns
The market and record-high data came from a single media outlet citing BIT(bit.com); no verification against exchange data was found.
The stock buyback, two transactions, cash balance, and holdings ranking are not accompanied by company announcements or original disclosures.
“Moving out of the shadow of Buffett’s retirement” is a headline judgment that cannot be confirmed solely by the stock price reaching a new high.
