I see news reporting cash at $380b. There’s a liability of $23b for purchase of Treasury Bills.
Cash $354b.
No buybacks, as expected.

BV
I get QE BV of $323.62 which is in agreement with your 1.48X
I would add that the investment portfolio has since risen by approximately $9.6 BB AT and 1 month of operating earnings would add approximately another $3.7. So current month end BV as of October is likely closer to $329+. Or a price to book of 1.45.

Another opinion,
" We recently upgraded BRK shares to a Buy from a Hold, following a period of sharp underperformance that followed the announcement of Warren Buffett's retirement as CEO at year-end. We believe that CEO-designate Greg Abel will restore investor confidence over time. In the near term, however, increased investment activity and/or share repurchases could be a catalyst for BRK shares," Edward Jones' Shanahan said."

And, inevitably, scratch the scratch, I was right the first time.
