Buffett ignores Iran war dip, holds $387B cash
Watch: Watch Berkshire's deployment of its $387B cash and treasury pile; its moves will signal Buffett's next strategic investment amid volatile markets.
Full analysis
Warren Buffett dismisses Q1 2026 market declines amid US-Israel Iran war as minor. Nasdaq, S&P 500, and Dow dropped 7%, 5%, and 4% respectively, but Berkshire Hathaway holds $370B in cash and Treasuries plus recently bought $17B more in weekly auctions. Buffett's stance signals patience and readiness to deploy large capital reserves despite broader market volatility.
Buffett's refusal to react to geopolitical turmoil and large cash holdings indicate confidence in a longer-term rebound, not short-term market noise, preserving Berkshire's capital power for future opportunity.
