Berkshire Hathaway issues ¥182 billion of yen‑denominated bonds at higher cost

Berkshire Hathaway raised ¥182 billion (about $1.1 billion) by selling yen‑denominated bonds. The deal comprised five tranches with maturities ranging from three to thirty years. The borrowing cost was higher than the company’s April yen bond issuance.

The higher cost increases Berkshire’s financing expenses and may affect its cash‑flow planning. Investors will see a larger interest outlay on the new debt compared with the earlier issue.
