Gates Foundation Misses Out on Estimated $1 Billion in Microsoft Stock Sale

The Bill Gates Foundation made a decision to sell all its Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) stock in Q1, 2026, which was a period of significant market volatility for the company. The foundation had been selling Microsoft stock since late 2023 and this sale might have been part of its plan to sunset by 2045 as outlined by Bill Gates himself.

The sudden rally after Microsoft's quarterly earnings on August 4 erased all the losses the company suffered in 2026, pushing the equity 3.11% into the green.

An investor who bought $1,000 worth of MSFT near Q1 lows would now have a portfolio worth $1,366.85 by press time.
