Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has built a reputation for investing in dividend-paying stocks, and five of its largest holdings are leading the way. According to the company's latest annual report, these five stocks have raised their dividends every year, providing consistent income streams for shareholders.

One such stock is American Express (NYSE:AXP), which pays a 0.98% dividend yield and has raised its quarterly dividend from $0.82 to $0.95 between January and April 2026. Berkshire Hathaway owns 151,610,700 shares of AXP, representing 22.2% of the company's float and 14.8% of its portfolio.

Another stock on the list is Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), which has a solid 1.83% dividend yield and has raised its quarterly dividend twice over the past year. Despite trimming his position in BAC, Buffett still owns 513,624,165 shares, or 9.1% of the portfolio and 7.3% of the float.

Chevron (NYSE:CVX) is also a standout stock on this list, with a 3.58% dividend yield and a 39-year streak of dividend increases. Berkshire Hathaway holds 84,375,856 shares of CVX, representing 4.2% of the company's float and 4.7% of its portfolio.
