Berkshire Hathaway is headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska.
The company's corporate headquarters is at 3555 Farnam Street in Omaha. Berkshire Hathaway is a diversified holding company whose businesses and investments span insurance, freight rail, utilities, energy, manufacturing, retail, and financial services. Its market capitalization reflects the value investors place on the publicly traded company as a whole, rather than the value of any single subsidiary.
Warren Buffett became Berkshire's chairman and chief executive in 1965 after buying shares in the struggling textile business. Under Buffett's leadership, Berkshire shifted away from textiles and built a large collection of operating companies and investments. Charlie Munger was a major partner in the company's development until his death in 2023.
People sometimes confuse Berkshire Hathaway's headquarters with the locations of its subsidiaries. For example, BNSF Railway is based in Fort Worth, Texas, while GEICO's main corporate offices are in Chevy Chase, Maryland. The parent company itself remains associated with Omaha.
