Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has priced a six-tranche yen-denominated bond worth ¥90 billion ($626.7 million). The move marks the conglomerate’s smallest offering in Japan’s bond market to date, with maturities ranging from three to thirty years.
The bond issuance comes at a time of heightened market volatility, as fears of a global recession mount in the wake of tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump. These concerns have already forced several companies to postpone planned debt offerings.
Japanese corporations such as Asahi Group Holdings and Suntory Holdings have recently shelved their own yen-denominated bond sales due to ongoing market uncertainty.
Despite the turbulence, Berkshire Hathaway’s continued presence in Japan—including its investments in major Japanese trading firms—has brought renewed international attention to a market often overlooked by foreign investors.
