Billionaire investor Warren Buffett has made another noteworthy move in the technology sector. His company, Berkshire Hathaway, which already held over $60 billion in Apple stock as of the end of Q3 2025, has now added Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL) to its prestigious portfolio. According to newly released regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Buffett has bought $4.3 billion worth of GOOGL shares.
While $4.3 billion is a significant investment, it represents just a little over 1% of Berkshire’s massive cash reserves, which currently exceed $300 billion on its balance sheet. The latest Form 13F SEC filing by Berkshire Hathaway details a new holding of nearly 18 million GOOGL shares, valued at $4.3 billion as of September 30, 2025.
Since then, Google’s stock has surged following the company’s very strong Q3 2025 earnings report, which revealed revenues surpassing $100 billion for the quarter. As a result, Buffett’s position in Google is now estimated to be worth over $5 billion after the impressive October 2025 results.
Berkshire Hathaway still maintains over $300 billion in cash and short-term treasury securities, suggesting that Buffett—the “Oracle of Omaha”—may have further investment moves planned before the end of the year.
### Berkshire Hathaway’s Top 10 Holdings as of September 30, 2025
1. **Apple (AAPL):** $60.5 billion
2. **American Express (AXP):** $50.4 billion
3. **Bank of America (BAC):** $29.3 billion
4. **Coca-Cola (KO):** $26.5 billion
5. **Chevron (CVX):** $19 billion
6. **Occidental Petroleum (OXY):** $12.5 billion
7. **Moody’s (MCO):** $11.8 billion
8. **Chubb (CB):** $8.8 billion
9. **Kraft Heinz (KHC):** $8.5 billion
10. **Alphabet (GOOGL):** $4.3 billion
It’s also noteworthy that Berkshire Hathaway disclosed a sale of 15% of its Apple holdings during the quarter. This means, despite the creation of a new position in Google, the company has actually slightly reduced its overall exposure to the technology sector.
Following the public revelation of Berkshire’s new investment, Google shares jumped 4% in after-hours trading, underscoring the market’s strong reaction to Buffett’s latest bet.
