Berkshire Hathaway has accumulated a stake in Alphabet worth approximately $41 billion, making the Google parent company its fourth-largest public equity holding. The position was built over several quarters, beginning in the third quarter of 2025 and increasing significantly through the first quarter of 2026.
A recent major addition came on June 1, 2026, when Berkshire invested an additional $10 billion through a private placement to help fund Alphabet's artificial intelligence infrastructure development. This move elevates Berkshire's total investment in Alphabet to a higher value than its iconic, long-held stake in Coca-Cola. The substantial investment underscores a strong conviction in Alphabet's market position and future growth, particularly in AI.
