However, recent actions suggest that Berkshire Hathaway and some other investment managers may be gradually embracing cryptocurrencies.It is reported that Berkshire Hathaway has invested millions of dollars in a Brazil-based bank related to cryptocurrencies, Nu Holdings Ltd., whose stock has risen 34% year-on-year. The bank has its own cryptocurrency platform and supports the cryptocurrency market.
