Berkshire Hathaway now holds an indirect stake in SpaceX, reflecting a long-running interest by Elon Musk in bringing Warren Buffett into one of his ventures. Multiple outlets report that Berkshire’s exposure comes through its existing investment structure rather than a direct purchase of SpaceX shares.
The reports describe the stake as relatively small compared with Berkshire’s overall portfolio. Times of India adds that the value is roughly $700 million and frames the move as an example of how Berkshire’s market value is influenced by what its broader holdings—specifically Alphabet shares—support. Business Insider similarly emphasizes the “sort of” shareholder relationship, highlighting the connection between Berkshire, Alphabet, and SpaceX rather than a straightforward investment announcement.
Outlets differ mainly in how they explain the linkage and emphasize its significance. One focuses on the Musk–Buffett narrative of pursuit and eventual indirect participation, while the other highlights the estimated dollar value and the portfolio arithmetic behind Berkshire’s overall worth.
