Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway BRK owns 400 million shares of The Coca-Cola Company KO stock, which is roughly 9.3% of the company. And it's a significant stake for Berkshire, representing approximately 6.5% of its portfolio.

Coca-Cola is one of the world's leading beverage companies and it currently rewards its shareholders with a quarterly dividend of $0.485 per share, equating to an annual dividend of $1.94 per share. Let’s find out how much Berkshire will earn in dividends from its stake.

Berkshire shares of Coca-Cola: 400,000,000

Coca-Cola annual dividend per share: $1.94

Total Annual Dividend = 400,000,000 x 1.94

Result: $776,000,000

Berkshire Hathaway will receive $776 million in dividends from Coca-Cola this year based on its current dividend rate. This equates to $194 million quarterly, or about $2.13 million daily. 

The income Berkshire earns from Coca-Cola aligns with Warren Buffett’s investment philosophy, which emphasizes steady, predictable returns – and it's also worth noting that Coca-Cola has raised its annual dividend payment for 62 consecutive years, so Berkshire's annual income will likely grow in the years ahead.
