Billionaire investor Warren Buffett has only recently begun investing heavily in technology firms. As of the end of Q3 2025, his company, Berkshire Hathaway, holds over $60 billion in Apple stock. However, news broke this afternoon revealing that Google (Alphabet Inc.) has now been added to the 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 over 1% of Berkshire Hathaway’s more than $300 billion in cash and short-term treasury securities currently held on its balance sheet.
Berkshire Hathaway’s latest Form 13F SEC filing discloses a new holding of nearly 18 million GOOGL shares, valued at $4.3 billion as of September 30, 2025. Since that date, Google’s stock price has risen following a very impressive Q3 2025 earnings report, where the company posted over $100 billion in revenue for the quarter.
Based on the recent filing and subsequent market performance, Buffett is now sitting on a Google stock position worth over $5 billion after the blowout quarterly results reported in October 2025.
Despite this new investment, Berkshire Hathaway still maintains over $300 billion in cash and short-term treasury securities, suggesting that the “Oracle of Omaha” may have additional purchases 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
It is also noteworthy that Berkshire Hathaway disclosed selling 15% of its Apple holdings during the quarter. This means that despite creating a new position in Google, the company has actually decreased its overall exposure to the tech sector.
Following the announcement of the new Google position, the stock jumped approximately 4% in after-hours trading. Investors and market watchers will be keen to see if Buffett continues to expand his technology holdings in the coming months.
