I guess Buffett is a closet dividend investor. Buffett's annual letter to shareholders, released today, speaks of the Coke holding, in a section describing dividend increases that he thinks will be materializing and helping out Berkshire's returns. He notes that in 1995, the first year after Berkshire finished buying its 200 million shares of Coke stock, the company paid Berkshire $88 million of dividends. In every year since, Coke has raised its dividend—and Berkshire is expecting to get a $376 million payment from it in 2011. Buffett is also looking forward to step-ups from that in the future.
