Berkshire Hathaway increases its investment in Alphabet, the parent company of Google, by about 83% compared with its prior position, according to reporting that cites recent regulatory disclosures. The move also reshapes Berkshire’s equity portfolio, with Alphabet becoming one of its largest holdings.
CNBC reports that Berkshire holds about 106 million Alphabet shares worth $37.9 billion as of the end of June, based on a regulatory filing released Friday. Other outlets characterize the increase as part of Berkshire’s most substantial stock-buying period in years, suggesting the stake rises significantly during the quarter.
Business Insider notes the change comes about six months after Warren Buffett retires, framing it as a shift in Berkshire’s investing pace. The New York Post similarly highlights the size of the percentage increase. CNBC adds that alongside Alphabet, Berkshire also increases exposure to other investments, including Delta and housing-related bets, reflecting broader portfolio adjustments rather than a single-stock change.
