I am going to put out there a theory. I would surmise that more so than any other stock, that people gift shares to trusts near year end that will be sold immediately by the trust regardless of price.
I use the Schwab trust and most of my trust donations happen the last few weeks of the year.
You want to give away the largest % gain long term investments in your portfolio to maximize the benefit.
BRK is likely number #1 for many.
