Bill Gates Foundation fully exits Microsoft, sells final $3.2 billion stake
More than 25 years after the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation was created, its financial ties to Microsoft have officially come to an end.
The foundation’s trust sold its last remaining 7.7 million Microsoft shares in the first quarter of 2026, according to a report by The Times of India. The holding was valued at roughly $3.2 billion. The sale closes a gradual two-year process that originally started with 28.5 million shares.
