Berkshire Hathaway's cash reserves have surged to $325 billion after Warren Buffett reduced his stake in Apple and other stocks.
Buffett's Apple holdings, once worth $174.3 billion, have been significantly trimmed, contributing to a $97 billion gain for Berkshire.
Analysts speculate that Buffett's move could be preparation for a management transition or an anticipation of a potential economic downturn.
