Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway initiates $4.3B position in Alphabet, trims Apple holdings
Berkshire Hathaway bought a $4.3 billion stake in Alphabet during Q3 2025 while trimming its Apple holdings by 15%.Summary
Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway made a significant move in Q3 2025 by acquiring 17.8 million shares of Alphabet (GOOG), valued at approximately $4.3 billion, according to a recent filing. This marks one of Berkshire's rarest pure-play tech investments, entering a core Big Tech platform driven by AI and cloud computing, despite the firm's historical aversion to the fast-changing technology sector. Concurrently, Berkshire reduced its position in Apple by about 15%, although Apple remains the dominant stock in its portfolio. The firm also cut stakes in Bank of America, Verisign, DaVita Healthcare Partners, and Nucor. Analysts suggest this entry into Alphabet was likely driven by investment managers Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, who were also instrumental in Berkshire's initial investment in Apple.
