Berkshire Hathaway's New Leader Has Loaded Up on Alphabet With $10 Billion in Cash. Here's the Likely Reason.
Yahoo Finance ·
At the end of last year, Warren Buffett retired as chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway ( BRKA 0.15% ) ( BRKB 0.40% ) and passed the reins to Greg Abel. Although Buffett still has some influence on the company, it's clear that Abel and Berkshire Hathaway are embracing new strategies. Since Abel took over, Berkshire Hathaway's stock portfolio has changed a bit, and one of the biggest shifts is that it has loaded up on Alphabet ( GOOG 1.46% ) ( GOOGL 1.39% ) . Berkshire Hathaway purchased its first Alphabet shares in late 2025, but Abel has taken it up a notch. It's now Berkshire Hathaway's fifth-largest holding, accounting for 8.7% of its stock portfolio (across both share classes). Alphabet isn't the typical Berkshire Hathaway investment, but amid the evolving artificial intelligence (AI) landscape, it makes sense for the conglomerate to embrace an AI company that has its hands in many pots. Between its prior public stake and the company's announcement of a new $10 billion private placement purchase in June, Berkshire Hathaway now holds a nearly $31 billion stake.

Investors should pay attention to the acceleration of traditional conglomerates incorporating tech stocks.
