What had happened before? Although the company’s owner has long been a critic of the digital asset market, this is not the first time Berkshire Hathaway has invested in Nubank. The organization had previously bought $500 million worth of shares in Nubank in 2021.
What is known about the bank? Nubank is a bank that does not operate under the traditional banking system. Unlike others, it allows the use of cryptocurrency in its operations and offers products such as bitcoin ETFs. Nubank co-founder Cristina Junqueira previously stated:
“There is so much opportunity in the [Latin America] region. Worldwide there is no place that is better suited in terms of having a great opportunity for fintech companies to tackle.”
