Berkshire's Delta Air Lines Stake Jumps 44% to $5.4 Billion in Q2

Berkshire Hathaway's stake in Delta Air Lines jumped 44% during the second quarter of 2026, climbing to 57.3 million shares worth roughly $5.4 billion at the end of June, according to recent 13F filings cited in a Yahoo Finance report; the position was worth about $2.6 billion at the end of March.
Berkshire dumped its entire airline portfolio in 2020 during the pandemic, with Buffett previously calling airlines a 'capital trap'; the Delta position was built during Greg Abel's tenure as CEO, who wrote to shareholders in February that Berkshire has 'core' positions it won't sell but otherwise plans to stay 'disciplined and concentrated.'
Delta reported record second-quarter revenue of $17.7 billion, up 14% year-over-year, with unit revenue growth of 12.4% despite capacity growing only about 1%; pretax profit was $1.4 billion, with earnings of $1.56 per share and a 9% operating margin, all ahead of the company's guidance.

SEC Preparing to Release Framework for Trading Tokenized Versions of Wall Street Stocks

The Securities and Exchange Commission is preparing to launch a framework for trading blockchain versions of popular Wall Street-listed stocks, with its 'innovation exemption' for tokenized-stock trading expected as early as Friday, according to a Bloomberg report cited by Yahoo Finance/Benzinga.
Officials are still 'working on the proposal' and details may change before release; the SEC has scheduled an open meeting Friday to 'create a tailored offering regime for certain investment contracts involving crypto assets.'
SEC Chair Paul Atkins first hinted at the 'innovation exemption' in April; the proposal aims to give qualified firms a regulatory sandbox to issue and trade tokenized securities on-chain under lighter-touch compliance conditions. A similar report emerged in May, but the agency delayed release to weigh feedback from stock-exchange officials and public companies.

PayPal Shares Jump on Report of Active Sale Talks With Stripe-Advent Consortium

PayPal shares jumped after a Wall Street Journal report, cited on-air by CNBC, said the company is in active sale discussions with a consortium led by Stripe and private equity firm Advent International, following the board's rejection of Stripe and Advent's earlier $60.50-per-share bid.
Stripe, valued near $159 billion, would gain PayPal's 439 million active accounts and Braintree's merchant footprint if a deal materializes, creating a combined payment platform the report estimated at $3 trillion; PayPal closed at $61.66, up 1.77% on the day.
CEO Enrique Lores declined to comment on the M&A speculation on PayPal's earnings call but said the board has 'a clear responsibility to objectively evaluate every opportunity' and compare it with the company's own plan; Polymarket's contract on a Stripe-PayPal deal in 2026 rose from 18.3% implied probability on Aug. 14 to 38.1% on Aug. 15.

Kalshi Clashes With Nevada Regulator as Investigators Place Trades Despite Geofencing Order

Nevada Gaming Control Board investigators placed nine trades on Kalshi's mobile app while connected to cellular networks in Nevada, a day after a court-ordered deadline for the company to have a complete geofencing solution in place, according to a court filing seen by Reuters.
Kalshi said it hired GeoComply, a vendor licensed by Nevada's gaming regulator at the state's request, and that it kept the state updated throughout; the company's lawyers said Nevada investigators misrepresented their residences and that at least one circumvented its blocking measures.
A Nevada judge issued a preliminary injunction in April barring Kalshi from offering prediction-market contracts in the state without a gaming license; the dispute follows Kalshi's earlier legal fights with New York and other regulators over its market classification.
