The post Bill Ackman just invested $1 billion in this stock appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

While the actual fourth-quarter (Q4) 13-f filing is yet to be published, a February 11 Pershing Square (LON: PSH) presentation revealed a massive new technology bet made late last year by the billionaire investor Bill Ackman. Specifically, in the section covering the equity portfolio update, the company unveiled a massive position in Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META). While the exact value of the investment was not known at press time on February 16, the document reveals it accounts for about 10% of the portfolio. Considering the Q3 2025 13-f filing showed the value of Pershing Square’s holdings at about $14 billion, it is possible Bill Ackman invested approximately $1.5 billion in META stock.

The January 28 document revealed the firm beat both the revenue and the earnings per share (EPS) forecasts, recording $59.89 billion and $8.88, respectively. Additionally, investors were especially impressed with the accompanying revenue forecast late last month. Meta’s estimate that its sales will amount to between $53.5 billion and $56.5 billion in 2026 – at the time, analysts were predicting a whole-year figure of $51.41 billion – helped the stock soar approximately 10% in a day.
