It seems that it could be that crypto is not rat poison after all. At least in Warren Buffet’s view. As you probably know, a while ago this is what he used to call crypto, but now his money believes something else, according to the latest reports.
It’s been revealed that specifically, his company Berkshire Hathaway has bought $1 billion worth of stock in a digital bank that focuses on crypto.
“Berkshire Hathaway made its crypto investment public with a SEC filing earlier this week. It revealed that Buffett’s company had purchased $1 billion in shares of Nubank, a digital bank based in Brazil, and the largest of its kind in Latin America.”
Fortune also notes that Nubank is a so-called neobank, a type of bank that operates outside of the rules of the traditional banking system.
“The digital bank’s investment unit, NuInvest, allows users to put money in a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF)—tapping a financial space that Berkshire’s leaders have shown little love for.”
