# Berkshire reveals $4.3bn Alphabet stake, adding Google to its top holdings

Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has taken a significant new stake in Alphabet, revealing a $4.3 billion position that made the Google parent its 10th-largest equity holding at the end of Q3, according to its latest regulatory filing (late Friday). The move stands out given Buffett’s longstanding caution toward high-growth technology companies, even though Apple — a long-time Berkshire favourite — is often framed by him as a consumer brand rather than a tech bet.

The Alphabet purchase is widely believed to have been made by one of Berkshire’s investment lieutenants, Todd Combs or Ted Weschler, who manage a portion of the portfolio and have shown greater comfort in adding tech exposure. Their past picks include Amazon, initiated in 2019, which Berkshire still holds at a value of roughly $2.2 billion.

Alphabet has been one of this year’s market leaders, with shares surging 46% amid strong artificial-intelligence demand and renewed momentum in its cloud services unit — themes that may have helped draw Berkshire further into the sector.

The new stake reinforces institutional confidence behind AI-linked megacap tech and may add momentum to Alphabet shares, especially given Berkshire’s long-term investment profile.
