Billionaire investor Warren Buffett has historically been cautious about investing in technology firms. However, his company Berkshire Hathaway has recently made significant moves in the tech sector. As of the end of Q3 2025, Berkshire Hathaway held over $60 billion in Apple stock, making it one of the firm’s largest positions. Today, news broke that Google has now been added to Berkshire’s illustrious portfolio.
According to regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Buffett has acquired $4.3 billion worth of Alphabet (GOOGL) shares. While this is a substantial investment, it represents just slightly more than 1% of Berkshire’s substantial cash reserves—over $300 billion currently held on its balance sheet.
Berkshire Hathaway’s latest Form 13F SEC filing reveals a new holding: nearly 18 million GOOGL shares valued at $4.3 billion as of September 30, 2025. Since that date, Google’s stock price has climbed, driven higher by an impressive Q3 2025 earnings report, in which the company posted over $100 billion in revenue for the quarter. Based on today’s disclosure and recent stock performance, Buffett’s position in Google is now worth over $5 billion.
With over $300 billion in cash and short-term treasury securities still on its books, Berkshire Hathaway may not be done making bold investments in 2025. The “Oracle of Omaha” could have more surprises in store before the year wraps up.
**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 noteworthy that Berkshire Hathaway also disclosed a sale of about 15% of its Apple (AAPL) holdings during the quarter. This means that, despite initiating a new position in Google, the company’s overall exposure to the technology sector actually decreased.
Following the announcement, Alphabet’s stock jumped 4% in after-hours trading, signaling Wall Street’s enthusiasm for Buffett’s latest move. Investors and analysts alike will be watching closely to see what the next chapter holds for Berkshire Hathaway’s investment strategy.
