Warren Buffett is a master of making money – and Coca-Cola is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/42011977/99-billion-bet-warren-buffett-invests-heavily-in-2-stocks-expected-to-jump-19-and-20-wall-street-analysts-predict">one of his biggest cash cows</a>. In 2024, Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett's investment behemoth, is set to rake in $776 million in Coca-Cola dividends alone.&nbsp;
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>This rooftop wind turbine is taking on a market projected to reach over $900 billion by 2032 —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/halcium"> With already over 40,000 users signing up to purchase, here's a chance to be an early investor today!</a></li>
<li>This Adobe-backed AI marketing startup went from a $5 to $85 million valuation working with brands like L'Oréal, Hasbro, and Sweetgreen in just three years –<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-ai-2"> here's how there's a limited time opportunity to invest at $1,000 for only $0.50/share before it closes tonight.</a></li>
</ul>
That's right: $776 million for holding 400 million shares. According to Moneywise, this massive payout comes from Coca-Cola upping its quarterly dividend to 48.5 cents per share. If you're doing the math, that's $0.485 x 4 x 400,000,000. It&#8217;s not a bad haul for simply sitting on a mountain of Coke stock.
Buffett's love for Coca-Cola isn't just financial – it's personal. The 94-year-old billionaire famously drinks five cans daily and gets roughly 25% of his daily calories from the fizzy stuff. In a 2015 Fortune interview, he admitted, "If I eat 2,700 calories daily, a quarter of that is Coca-Cola. I drink at least five 12-ounce servings. I do it every day."&nbsp;
However, despite being Coca-Cola's largest shareholder and perhaps its most dedicated fan, Buffett doesn't get his favorite beverage for free. As revealed in the 2017 HBO documentary Becoming Warren Buffett, his wife Astrid even goes out of her way to buy the soda on sale. According to Buffett's daughter, Susie, her dad doesn't have room to stockpile the soda, but her mother bought it in bulk for the best price when she was alive.&nbsp;

Susie also revealed her famously frugal father's second wife, Astrid, also likes to get a deal. "Astrid is more likely to try to find out where it's on sale and buy it on sale."&nbsp;
While it may seem like Buffett has been a Coca-Cola lover forever, he once only drank its rival. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41198368/warren-buffetts-son-who-famously-cashed-in-his-90-000-inheritance-at-19-spends-millions-in-buffe">His son</a>, Howard, even called him "Pepsi Warren." He reportedly drank Pepsi for nearly 50 years before switching brands in the 1980s.&nbsp;
Buffett's switch from Pepsi to Coca-Cola reportedly had to do with his neighbor, Don Keough, a coffee salesperson in Omaha in the 1960s. According to Glen Arnold in The Deals of Warren Buffett Volume 2, Buffett once knocked on Keough's door with a pitch: "If you give me $10,000, I might be able to do something with it." Keough wasn't sold. "I didn't have it, but I could've borrowed it from my father. But can you imagine giving $10,000 to a guy who doesn't get up and go to work in the morning?" he later said. Keough passed on the offer, which Arnold estimated could've grown to $93 million by 2018.

Years later, Keough climbed the corporate ladder at Coca-Cola, becoming its president and COO in the 1980s. Keough seized the moment when he read in a magazine that Buffett was hooked on Pepsi Cherry. He sent his old neighbor some Cherry Coke samples, calling it the "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/02/37240748/warren-buffett-drinks-5-cans-of-coke-per-day-at-93-years-old-but-he-was-a-dedicated-pepsi-drinker-fo">nectar of the gods</a>." Buffett was hooked. In 1986, he even told Berkshire Hathaway shareholders that Cherry Coke was now the official drink of their annual meeting, cementing his switch – and his eventual investment – in Coca-Cola.
Buffett&#8217;s 400 million shares of Coca-Cola stock represent a massive portion of his investment portfolio, worth over $25 billion at current market prices. But this investment is more than just numbers – it's a perfect example of Buffett's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/can-you-guess-how-many-americans-successfully-retire-with-1-million-saved">long-term approach to investing</a> and his connection to the brand, even if he does have to buy it on sale.&nbsp;

ZenaTech, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZENA#NASDAQ">ZENA</a>) disclosed on Wednesday that it signed the appropriate partner&nbsp;agreements for its supply chain to sell its ZenaDrone 1000 AI drone<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g42109018/zenatech-signs-blue-uas-and-ndaa-compliant-supply-chain-partners-to-sell-to-us-defense-branches-an" rel="noreferrer noopener"> solutions to US defense branches and NATO forces</a>.
The company recently participated in a Taiwan Trade Mission organized by the Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA) that directly resulted in these partnerships.
ZenaTech confirmed that all electrical components and the supply chain for its ZenaDrone 1000 will comply with the U.S. National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) standards.
The company previously completed successful paid trials with the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Naval Research, utilizing its drones for transporting critical cargo, such as blood, in field operations.
NDAA compliance involves adhering to the provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act, which sets the annual budget and expenditure guidelines for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) while addressing cybersecurity concerns.
To be NDAA compliant, products must not be sourced from a list of prohibited Chinese manufacturers, covering components such as chipsets, cameras, and displays.
The Blue UAS program is a government-approved supplier list for drone companies seeking to do business with the U.S. DoD. Suppliers must meet strict NDAA cybersecurity and supply chain sourcing standards.
The Green UAS program offers a similar process but with a more streamlined approach and without restrictions on the country of origin for manufacturing.
CEO Shaun Passley, said, &#8220;Our strategic relationship with the Arizona Commerce Authority has resulted in these important NDAA-compliant partners needed in order to qualify for the Blue UAS list. The next step is to complete the Green UAS list process, then we will be ready for the Blue UAS certification to be able to execute our plans to do more business with military organizations in the US, NATO and beyond.&#8221;
Price Action: ZENA shares are up 0.33% at $1.525 at the last check Thursday.

Cardano (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ada/usd">ADA</a>) co-founder Charles Hoskinson on Thursday named Coinbase Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) CEO Brian Armstrong for a potential crypto position at the White House, citing his unique position to bridge the gap between the digital asset <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42091821/could-donald-trumps-potential-treasury-secretary-be-out-of-his-depth-on-crypto-policy-polymarket-traders-just-cant-decide-on-a-favorite">industry and federal regulators.</a>
What Happened: Hoskinson <a href="https://x.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1859312190219862175">emphasized</a> the importance of the role being filled by someone &#8220;neutral&#8221; with a deep understanding of blockchain technology and the challenges posed by existing U.S. regulations.
"There is only one candidate that I think stands out in our industry for this role, and that's Brian Armstrong," Hoskinson wrote. 
He cited Armstrong's leadership at Coinbase, a company that has navigated significant regulatory hurdles, as a testament to his ability to unify the industry and drive meaningful policy reform.
A crypto position, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42098407/donald-trump-reportedly-eyeing-the-first-crypto-focused-role-in-the-white-house">reportedly</a> being considered by President-elect Donald Trump's transition team, would mark the first time a White House role is dedicated exclusively to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/40001426/trump-aims-to-make-us-crypto-capital-of-the-planet-well-get-it-done">cryptocurrency policy</a>.
The position is expected to act as a bridge between the White House, Congress, and federal regulatory agencies, aiming to create a cohesive and supportive regulatory framework for digital assets.

Hoskinson's nomination of Armstrong comes as the blockchain industry anticipates major shifts under Trump's administration, which has promised a more <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41770352/bitcoins-future-under-president-elect-donald-trump-a-look-at-his-crypto-policies">crypto-friendly approach</a>.
Trump's campaign pledges included <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41680397/who-will-replace-gary-gensler-the-top-candidates-for-sec-chair-after-the-election">firing SEC Chair Gary Gensler</a>, scaling back regulatory oversight, and creating a presidential advisory council on cryptocurrency.
Hoskinson expressed his belief that Armstrong's experience would enable him to build a "broad tent coalition" to unite the fragmented crypto industry. 
He also announced his own efforts to support the policy framework, revealing plans to meet lawmakers in Washington, D.C., and launch an initiative called Operation Baseline. 
This project will survey the cryptocurrency industry to identify inefficiencies and propose actionable solutions for policymakers.
"The time has come to get this done so that we all can get back to work changing the world," Hoskinson said.
Armstrong, who recently endorsed Trump's newly announced Department of Government Efficiency, is no <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42084945/coinbase-ceo-brian-armstrong-backs-doge-initiative-how-blockchain-could-transform-government-efficiency">stranger to public policy debates. </a>
Armstrong described DOGE as a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" to streamline government operations, reduce waste, and enhance economic freedom. 
His vision aligns with blockchain's potential to improve transparency, reduce fraud, and simplify complex bureaucratic processes.
The creation of a crypto role could provide Armstrong with the platform to advocate for initiatives such as blockchain-driven transparency in government and Armstrong's own fiscal policy proposals, including a constitutional amendment to cap government spending.
