#比特币与黄金战争 🔥Warren Buffett's 3480 Billion Yen Deployment Behind the Financial Cycle Logic



The recent large-scale move by the stock king Buffett has once again shocked the market. Berkshire Hathaway has mobilized 3480 billion yen to allocate assets in Japanese yen, which is not just a simple rebalancing but a precise bet on the global interest rate landscape and exchange rate cycles.

**Why Japan? The interest rate differential window is opening**

Berkshire Hathaway holds 3477 billion in cash reserves, facing a Fed rate cut cycle and declining US dollar yields. The Japanese market has become an excellent arbitrage position. The Bank of Japan has raised interest rates to 0.75%—a thirty-year high, with institutions predicting further hikes to the 1%-1.5% range by 2026. What does this mean? The US-Japan interest rate differential is narrowing, and the door for yen appreciation has been fully opened.

Buffett has long tasted the sweetness. The unrealized gains from holdings in Japan’s five major trading companies have exceeded 70%, with annual dividend income surpassing 8 billion. This time, he is riding the momentum—using yen-denominated bonds to hedge exchange rate risk, with the dual logic of interest income plus exchange rate appreciation already in motion.

**Hundreds of billions flowing in, the dominoes are about to fall**

The question is: what will this level of capital inflow trigger? After the yen breaks through key thresholds, a collective unwinding of global arbitrage trades is inevitable—US stocks and emerging markets will inevitably bleed. Japan may also reduce its holdings of US Treasuries to increase yen allocation, directly pushing up US Treasury yields, putting pressure on tech stocks, while Japanese financial stocks and consumer giants may seize the opportunity.

**What about ordinary people?**

The impact is transmitted. Japanese goods may become cheaper, and the decline in commodities could help ease inflation, but the cost of traveling to Japan will rise, and domestic deposit interest rate structures will also adjust. Assets like $BTC and $ETH need to be cautious in leveraged trading—when liquidity tightens, high-leverage positions are most prone to liquidation.

**How to respond?**

Prioritize opportunities in Japanese financial stocks and domestic consumer giants, reduce holdings of long-term US Treasuries, and stay away from high-leverage cryptocurrencies. Ordinary people should keep 10%-20% cash as reserves; diversified allocation is the right approach—avoid blindly following forex leverage trends.

The stock king never chases hot topics; he always bets on the cycle in advance. The migration of 3480 billion in funds is rewriting the global interest rate landscape. Every financial shock is an opportunity for wealth reshuffling. Understanding the cycle and planning ahead is the way to securely capture the dividends.

Buffett is playing big again, but this time the logic of interest rate arbitrage does seem to hold. As the yen appreciates, you should indeed be cautious of leverage liquidation.

Buffett is playing yen arbitrage, and we're still struggling with liquidation in the crypto space? What a gap.

Old Ba's recent yen bet is really brilliant, but we need to be cautious. Crypto friends using high leverage are probably going to suffer losses this time.

Old Bo's move this time is really brilliant, but why do I feel that the interest rate arbitrage logic has been played out in the crypto world... Is the yen's appreciation really good or bad for BTC? To be honest, I haven't figured it out yet. High leverage definitely should be avoided, but saying to stay "away from" crypto is a bit over the top, isn't it? Isn't that just typical traditional financial rhetoric... I want to see if there are any new L1 opportunities emerging under the strength of the yen. While optimistic about Japanese financial stocks, why not hold some Japanese bonds and keep a bit of BTC position? Diversify the risk, everyone.
