Berkshire Hathway’s stock price has risen so high in recent months that it briefly broke the code of the Nasdaq stock exchange.
Earlier this week the share price of the investment group Berkshire Hathaway rose so high that it broke the code of the Nasdaq stock exchange. As reported by The Register, Nasdaq uses 32-bit unsigned integers as opposed to 64-bit unsigned integers for stocks listed on its exchange. Normally this wouldn’t be a problem but because the investment group, run by Warren Buffett, is so highly valued its BRK. A stock exceeded the maximum value of a 32-bit variable which is 4,294,967,295 in decimal. At the time of writing, one share of BRK. A stock is currently valued at over $437k per share.
