Warren Buffett who once called crypto a 'rat poison' has now invested in cryptocurrency; here's how and when

Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett has finally broken through his self-created shackles and decided to invest in cryptocurrency, even though he previously had disdain for this kind of investment. Buffett has clearly stated earlier that he has never been a fan of cryptocurrency investment, and the market guru went as far as calling the digital currency Bitcoin “probably rat poison squared,” according to a Fortune report.

Buffett invests in Brazilian digital banking company

Warren Buffett has reportedly invested into Nu Holdings, which is a relatively new Brazilian digital crypto banking company, whose year-on-year growth has touched nearly 34%. The Berkshire Hathaway CEO's interest possibly sparked looking at this surreal growth, but it is also understandable that the market guru must have read all counts of the volatility of this banking institution before putting his money.

Nu launched its own cryptocurrency platform back in 2022, named Nubank Cripto, an investment asset that literally backed Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Polygon for quite some time. However, it has now deflected a little and kept its focus on Uniswap and Chainlink, which act as bridges for sending, receiving, and converting cryptocurrencies.
