[Bill Gates Foundation Sells Off All Microsoft Stock]
According to a report by Jinse Finance, the charitable foundation of Microsoft founder Bill Gates no longer holds any Microsoft stock. The foundation's endowment fund — Gates Foundation Trust — disclosed on Friday that it had sold its remaining 7.7 million shares of Microsoft stock, which are valued at approximately $3.2 billion at current prices. The foundation no longer holds any Microsoft shares, marking the official end of the decades-long equity relationship between Bill Gates' philanthropic system and the tech giant he founded.
This sale aligns with Bill Gates' recent philanthropic planning direction. Last year, Bill Gates announced that the foundation would gradually wind down its operations over the next 20 years, during which all assets would be fully allocated to charitable purposes rather than maintaining a permanent fund size.
Market analysts believe that the sale of Microsoft shares may be part of the foundation's asset reallocation and long-term expenditure strategy.
