Billionaire investor Warren Buffett has historically been cautious about investing in technology firms. However, his company, Berkshire Hathaway, now holds over $60 billion in Apple stock as of the end of Q3 2025. Adding to this tech exposure, news broke this afternoon that Google (Alphabet) has been added to Berkshire Hathaway’s portfolio.
According to regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Buffett has purchased approximately $4.3 billion worth of GOOGL shares. While this is a significant investment, it represents just slightly more than 1% of Berkshire’s cash reserves, which currently exceed $300 billion on its balance sheet.
Berkshire Hathaway’s latest Form 13F SEC filing reveals a new holding of nearly 18 million shares of Google, valued at $4.3 billion as of September 30, 2025. Google’s stock has risen since then, buoyed by an impressive Q3 2025 earnings report that saw the company generate over $100 billion in revenue during the quarter.
Based on the latest disclosures and the stock’s performance following the blowout quarterly results in October 2025, Buffett is now sitting on over $5 billion worth of Google stock. Despite this fresh purchase, Berkshire Hathaway still maintains over $300 billion in cash and short-term treasury securities, suggesting that the “Oracle of Omaha” may have additional acquisitions planned before the end of the year.
### Berkshire Hathaway’s Top 10 Holdings as of September 30, 2025
– Apple (AAPL): $60.5 billion
– American Express (AXP): $50.4 billion
– Bank of America (BAC): $29.3 billion
– Coca-Cola (KO): $26.5 billion
– Chevron (CVX): $19 billion
– Occidental Petroleum (OXY): $12.5 billion
– Moody’s (MCO): $11.8 billion
– Chubb (CB): $8.8 billion
– Kraft Heinz (KHC): $8.5 billion
– Alphabet (GOOGL): $4.3 billion
Interestingly, Berkshire Hathaway disclosed that it sold 15% of its Apple holdings during Q3 2025. This means that despite establishing a new position in Google, the company has actually decreased its overall exposure to the technology sector.
Following the news of the new Google position, Alphabet’s stock jumped approximately 4% in after-hours trading, reflecting investor optimism about Buffett’s latest move.
