BTCCSquare news:

The Gates Foundation Trust has offloaded 65% of its Microsoft stake in Q3 2025, reducing its holdings from $13.9 billion to $4.76 billion. The sale coincides with an 8% weekly drop in Microsoft shares, now trading at $487—down 12% from their late-October peak near $555.

Portfolio rebalancing and plans to increase annual grants to $9 billion by 2026 appear to drive the divestment. Insider activity shows 12 sales and zero purchases over six months, including CEO Satya Nadella’s sale of 149,205 shares. Despite the sell-off, Wall Street maintains 25 buy ratings with a median price target of $639.

Microsoft, once a cornerstone of the foundation’s portfolio, now ranks as its fourth-largest holding. Berkshire Hathaway leads at $10.9 billion, followed by Waste Management and Canadian National Railway.

Risk warning: Digital asset trading is an emerging industry with bright prospects, but it also comes with huge risks as it is a new market. The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
