Berkshire Hathaway invests in software company Bending Spoons

Berkshire Hathaway has provided a major financial vote of confidence to Milan-based software company Bending Spoons, CNBC Tech, CNBC, The Tech Buzz, and The Daily Hodl reported. The investment comes less than four months after the Italian firm completed its initial public offering on the Nasdaq exchange in New York on July 1, 2026. The Daily Hodl reported that Berkshire Hathaway poured another $330,000,000 into the software firm as its shares surged by 41 percent. [1][2][3][4]

CNBC Tech and CNBC reported that Bending Spoons was relatively unknown at the time of its Nasdaq debut. The holding company owns older internet brands, including AOL, Vimeo, Eventbrite, and Evernote. It has since positioned itself as a consolidator for software startups that have struggled during the boom in artificial intelligence. [1][2]

Berkshire Hathaway is an American multinational conglomerate holding company headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska. Greg Abel succeeded Warren Buffett as chief executive officer at the beginning of 2026. [6]

The backing from Berkshire Hathaway provides a significant boost to the acquisition strategy of Bending Spoons, according to CNBC Tech, CNBC, and The Tech Buzz. [1][2][3]
