“There are some things people shouldn’t worry about. This is one,” the billionaire investor said. The “Oracle of Omaha” told CNBC on Thursday that his company, Berkshire Hathaway, bought $10 billion worth of US Treasuries on Monday and did the same exactly a week prior. “The only question for next Monday is whether we will buy $10 billion in 3-month or 6-month [Treasury notes],” Buffett said.

Treasuries are known as one of the safest assets in the world, in part because they’re backed by the US government, which has never defaulted on its debt or missed a payment.
