Co-authored 'Break the Immigration Impasse' op-ed with Warren Buffett and Sheldon Adelson
[RECORD.TXT] · cat --full
Gates joined Warren Buffett and casino magnate Sheldon Adelson — spanning the ideological spectrum — in a joint New York Times op-ed urging Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform. The trio argued the United States was turning away highly productive potential citizens and that strong bipartisan business consensus existed to fix the broken system. The unusual cross-ideological coalition drew significant attention at a moment when comprehensive reform legislation was stalled in the Senate.

Gates Foundation Trust Sells Off the Last of Its Microsoft Stock
In the first quarter of 2026, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust sold its remaining Microsoft shares, fully exiting a position in the very company that created Gates's fortune — capping a long, deliberate diversification away from the stock. The endowment that funds Gates's philanthropy, managed separately from its grant-making through Cascade, is now anchored instead by Berkshire Hathaway, Waste Management, railroads, and heavy-equipment makers. The sale underscored how thoroughly Gates's giving had decoupled from Microsoft's day-to-day fortunes.

Gates's Charitable Endowment Is Now Led by Berkshire, Not Microsoft
By 2026, the publicly disclosed stock portfolio of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust — the endowment that funds Gates's philanthropy — was led not by Microsoft but by Berkshire Hathaway, Waste Management, Canadian National Railway, Caterpillar, and Deere. Decades of diversification, plus Warren Buffett's stock gifts, left it concentrated in railroads, waste, heavy equipment, and Buffett's conglomerate, while Microsoft — the source of the original fortune — had largely been sold down. The unglamorous, value-oriented mix reflects the long stewardship of Gates's money manager, Michael Larson, through Cascade Investment.
