Berkshire Hathaway invests further $330M in Bending Spoons

Berkshire Hathaway is investing a further $330 million in Bending Spoons, adding to the $600 million it invested when the technology company went public in July 2026. The new private placement covers 10 million ordinary shares priced at $33 each and will bring Berkshire’s ownership to 4%. The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions; Bending Spoons says further details will be disclosed in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Its leaders describe the investment as a sign of confidence in the company and a way to increase its financial flexibility for future acquisitions.

Bending Spoons’ business model centers on buying digital companies, making extensive operational and product changes, and using improved earnings to fund further acquisitions. Its transformations can include reorganizing teams, replacing or upgrading technology, redesigning interfaces, speeding product development, and changing marketing and monetization; the company says artificial intelligence can play a central role. It attributes its approach to a platform of employees, proprietary technology, and data, and says it has pursued the strategy for more than a decade without selling a material business. Its portfolio includes Airtable, AOL, Brightcove, Eventbrite, Evernote, Tractive, Vimeo, and WeTransfer. The additional Berkshire funding is positioned as support for continuing this acquisition-and-improvement cycle.
