Berkshire Hathaway Inc. has hired banks to explore a potential sale of yen-denominated bonds, which would be its second such offering in 2025. The move aligns with a broader trend of record-breaking global debt issuance. Given Berkshire's status as a major foreign borrower in the yen market and its significant investments in several of Japan's largest trading houses, this potential bond sale is drawing considerable attention. This action is widely interpreted as a signal of Berkshire's ongoing interest in Japanese investments. One analyst noted that since Berkshire already holds a substantial amount of cash, issuing yen bonds suggests the company sees attractive investment opportunities in Japan, potentially to increase its holdings in trading companies. The use of the funds raised will be closely watched for further insight into the company's strategic direction.
