According to the ever-so-revealing 13F filing of the Gates Foundation Trust, our Bill has offloaded a cool 1,500,000 MSFT shares, valued at a mere $1.04 billion, in the final quarter of 2025. My, my, what a way to end the year! This little maneuver reduced the foundation’s Microsoft holdings from 9,191,207 shares to a modest 7,691,207, a 16% decline. Still, one mustn’t fret-as of December 31st, the trust’s MSFT ownership stands at a respectable $3.719 billion. Quite the cushion, wouldn’t you say?
