Buffett’s Billion-Dollar Bet

In partnership with

Arigato, dear investor,

A few years ago, Warren Buffett did something that surprised a lot of people…

He started pouring billions into Occidental Petroleum (OXY) – a traditional oil and gas company. At a time when the world was shifting towards renewables and electric cars, many wondered: Why would one of the greatest investors of all time bet big on oil?

Buffett isn’t known for making impulsive moves. He doesn’t chase hype. He doesn’t gamble on trends. Instead, he follows the money – and this time, the money is flowing into oil.

Let’s break down why Buffett is betting big on OXY… and what it means for you.

1. Oil Isn’t Going Away Anytime Soon

Despite the push for green energy, global oil demand is still strong. Think about it:

• Planes, ships, and trucks still run on oil.

• Manufacturing, farming, and even EV production require fossil fuels.

• Countries like China and India are increasing energy consumption, keeping demand high.

Buffett sees this reality and believes there’s still serious money to be made.

2. OXY’s Strong Financial Position – Even in Tough Times

Not all oil companies are created equal, but OXY stands out for its financial strength and strategic positioning.

• It dominates the Permian Basin, one of the most productive oil regions in the world.

• After a bold acquisition of Anadarko in 2019, OXY took on significant debt… but now? They’ve strategically paid it down, improving their financial health.

• They are generating strong cash flow, allowing them to buy back shares and return capital to investors.

Buffett loves companies that stay resilient in both good and bad times – and OXY fits the bill.

3. A Hidden Energy Transition Play?

Here’s something most people aren’t talking about…

OXY isn’t just about oil. They’re investing heavily in carbon capture technology, which could make them a major player in the future of energy.

If governments push for stricter climate regulations, OXY could actually profit from cleaning up emissions – while still selling oil!

Buffett isn’t just betting on oil… He’s betting on OXY’s ability to adapt and lead in a changing energy world.

What This Means for Investors Like Us

Buffett doesn’t invest for a quick flip. He plays the long game, finding value where others hesitate.

Does this mean you should rush to buy OXY? Not necessarily. But it does mean oil and energy stocks still have a future – and that future could be a lot more profitable than people think.

And here’s something interesting…

💡 Did you know the price Buffett paid for OXY? It could still be an opportunity!

If you’re curious about how to invest in oil and gas, I’ve just written an in-depth blog post covering three different ways to invest, including stocks, ETFs, and private deals – plus a deep dive into Buffett’s move.

But investing in publicly listed companies like OXY isn’t the only way to get involved in oil and gas. Private investments in energy businesses can also present high-potential opportunities—though they come with higher risks. For example, companies like Klondike Royalties allow investors to participate in private oil and gas deals that could yield higher potential returns.
