How the Omaha super‑conglomerate buys, integrates, and sometimes sellsBerkshire Hathaway has quietly mastered serial acquisition by buying durable businesses with cash then giving managers autonomy instead of integrating them into a central bureaucracy. From BNSF to Alleghany to Pilot the method is simple. Select. Fund. Hold. The future likely features more large simple targets in insurance infrastructure and industrials powered by a fortress like cash reserve.
