Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway sold some of its Visa and Mastercard holdings and increased its exposure to Nubank, Brazil's largest fintech bank. The company has purchased Nubank Class A shares worth $1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2021, while selling Visa and Mastercard shares worth $1.8 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively. Berkshire Hathaway invested $500 million in Nubank in July 2021.
