Why Warren Buffett is Betting BILLIONS on Japan in 2025

The Oracle of Omaha AKA Warren Buffett is betting billions in 2025 and just revealed that Berkshire Hathaway is increasing its stake in Japan’s five major trading houses: Itochu, Marubeni, Mitsubishi, Mitsui, and Sumitomo. Buffett’s bet on Japan started in 2020 with a $6 billion investment, and now in 2025, his ownership has soared past 8.5% with an unrealized gain of $8 billion!
But why Japan? The Nikkei is booming, corporate reforms are reshaping businesses, and these trading giants are global players across energy, retail, logistics, and tech. Buffett sees undervalued stocks trading at low price-to-book ratios (~1.0), making them attractive compared to overpriced U.S. equities.

🔍 Buffett’s Strategy:
✅ Borrow cheap yen → Buy undervalued stocks → Pocket the returns (classic carry trade!)
✅ Long-term partnerships & joint ventures in EVs, renewables, and infrastructure
✅ Potential 10%+ stake expansion as Japanese firms loosen ownership caps

Should YOU Invest?
Stocks like ITOCY, MARUY, MSBHY, MITSY, SSUMY offer high risk, high reward. Buffett isn’t just investing—he’s betting on Japan’s economic resurgence!
