Billionaire investor Warren Buffett only recently began investing in technology firms with his company Berkshire Hathaway holding over $60 billion in Apple stock as of the end of Q3 2025, but news broke this afternoon that Google has been added to the portfolio.

Buffet has bought $4.3 billion worth of GOOGL shares according to regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This is a large sum of money, but also just slightly more than 1% of Berkshire's over $300 billion of cash it currently holds on its balance sheet.

Berkshire Hathaway's latest Form 13F SEC filing discloses a new holding in nearly 18 million GOOGL shares valued at $4.3 billion as of September 30, 2025. Google's stock (GOOGL) has gone up since then after reporting very impressive Q3 2025 earnings results raking in over $100 billion in revenue during the quarter. 

Based on today's disclosure, Buffett is currently sitting on over $5 billion of Google stock after the blowout quarterly report in October 2025. Berkshire Hathaway still has over $300 billion in cash and short-term treasury securities on its balance sheet, so this may not be the only purchase the so-called "Oracle of Omaha" has left in mind before the end of the year.

Here are 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 interesting to note that Berkshire Hathaway did disclose that it sold 15% of its Apple (AAPL) holdings during the quarter, so hidden in today's news is that the company has actually decreased its overall exposure to the tech sector despite creating a new position in Google. The stock did jump 4% on the news of this new position in afterhours trading.

Google finds itself in the heart of the artificial intelligence gold rush, and it appears that Buffett believes the hype coming out of Mountain View, California. Keep it locked on Shacknews for all of the latest news as the AI tech bubble continues to inflate.
