Warren Buffett's company has again cut its stake in the Chinese automaker BYD, but remains a significant shareholder.

Berkshire Hathaway sold nearly 95 million of its original 225 million shares, according to a filing with the Hong Kong stock market on Thursday.

This is in addition to the 4.235 million BYD shares sold since last month.

Berkshire has been trimming its stake since August, reducing its holdings by more than a third.

The company originally paid $232 million for a stake, which has increased in value to billions of dollars.

Buffett doesn't typically comment on stocks he is buying and selling while he is still making those moves.
