Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKa) has successfully priced a six-part yen-denominated bond offering, raising 90 billion yen (approximately $626.7 million), according to a term sheet reviewed by Reuters.
The bond sale comes at a time when many debt deals are being delayed due to growing concerns over U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs, which investors fear could lead to a global recession.
This marks the smallest yen-denominated bond offering by Buffett’s conglomerate, with bond maturities ranging from 3 to 30 years.
In contrast, several Japanese companies, including Asahi and Suntory, have postponed their own yen bond offerings due to ongoing market instability, as reported by Reuters.
Additionally, Berkshire Hathaway has made strategic investments in Japanese trading houses, highlighting an often-overlooked market that is beginning to attract more attention from international investors.
