Is a market turning point coming? Throughout history, there have only been 5 times when Warren Buffett held more cash than stocks: 1969, 1987, 2000, 2008, and now 2026.

The previous four times were all just before major crises erupted.
When Buffett piles up cash (including short-term investments) more than stocks, it indicates he believes the market is too expensive and there are few good opportunities, and a big event is likely imminent.

1969: The stock market was overheating. Buffett dissolved his partnership firm and nearly liquidated all stocks, shifting to cash.
1987: On the eve of the Black Monday stock crash, he significantly reduced his stock holdings.
2000: During the peak of the internet bubble, he increased his cash holdings substantially, and the bubble burst shortly after.
2008: Before the financial crisis, his cash reserves were high. After the crisis hit, he bought the dip in Goldman Sachs and others, making huge profits.

Now, in 2026, this rare signal has reappeared — Berkshire Hathaway’s cash reserves hit a new high (around $380 billion in 2025, still over $370 billion at year-end), even surpassing the value of his stock holdings.

Warren Buffett has repeatedly emphasized that cash is like “oxygen” — necessary but not an ideal asset. The main reason he accumulates cash is that he “can’t find large-scale ‘elephant-sized’ opportunities,” not just predicting crises.

He also pointed out that high cash reserves help maintain flexibility during market turbulence.

#BTC Wobbling! The more I look, the more it seems like the big one is coming. Last time, the index was still around 68,000; now it’s at 66,000.

All these altcoins are just pumping to rush out their holdings.
