Recently,Foreign exchange fraud list in 2019 Berkshire Hathaway, under Warren Buffett, has further increased its stake in the North American satellite broadcasting company Sirius XM. According to regulatory filings, Berkshire purchased approximately $60.7 million worth of Sirius XM shares over a three-day period ending this Thursday, and now owns 33.2% of the company's outstanding shares. This move ensures Berkshire's steady progress in increasing its stake in Sirius XM. Sirius XM, a leading satellite radio company in the United States, also owns the music streaming platform Pandora, expanding its business footprint in the streaming music sector.
Last month, Berkshire officially became Sirius XM's largest shareholder after Liberty Media, Sirius XM's parent company led by John Malone, spun off 83% of Sirius XM shares and merged them with other parts of Sirius XM. Prior to this, Berkshire was already the largest holder of those tracking stocks. In mid-October, Buffett significantly reduced his holdings in Bank of America and then heavily invested in Sirius XM, acquiring shares worth $86.73 million within three days, thus raising the total number of shares owned to 108.72 million. Subsequently, Berkshire continued to increase its holdings by adding more than 1.5 million shares.
Analysts suggest that Berkshire's frequent increases in its Sirius XM holdings may reflect its strategic intent to seek assets with greater growth potential in the media and technology sectors. Since the beginning of this year, Sirius XM's stock price has dropped by more than half, making it more attractive to investors. Sirius XM primarily provides diverse audio content through satellite broadcasting, including music, sports, drama, talk shows, news, and more, particularly relying on a strong user base in the in-car entertainment market to maintain steady profitability. Formed by the merger of Sirius Satellite Radio and XM Satellite Radio in 2008, Sirius XM has grown into a leading radio entertainment company in the North American market.
Additionally, Sirius XM has made significant inroads into the streaming media field, having previously acquired the music streaming giant Pandora, further extending its business coverage in the digital audio market. According to the 2023 financial report, Sirius XM's annual revenue reached $8.95 billion, with an EBITDA of $2.79 billion and a net income of $1.26 billion. The company has approximately 34 million subscribers and 150 million monthly active listeners.
