The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust has completely exited its long-term holding in Microsoft after selling its remaining 7.7 million shares, according to recent U.S. SEC Form 13F filings.

The foundation had been gradually reducing its Microsoft exposure over the past several years, and this latest filing confirms a full liquidation of the position. The move is widely interpreted as part of ongoing portfolio rebalancing and increased philanthropic capital allocation, rather than a change in view on Microsoft’s business outlook.
