Billionaire investor Warren Buffett has traditionally been cautious about investing in technology firms, but recent moves by his company, Berkshire Hathaway, indicate a growing interest in this sector. As of the end of Q3 2025, Berkshire Hathaway holds over $60 billion in Apple stock. However, news broke this afternoon that Google 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 slightly more than 1% of Berkshire Hathaway’s over $300 billion in cash and short-term treasury securities currently held on its balance sheet.
Berkshire Hathaway’s latest Form 13F SEC filing reveals a new holding of nearly 18 million shares of GOOGL, valued at $4.3 billion as of September 30, 2025. Since that date, Google’s stock has risen following an impressive Q3 2025 earnings report, which saw the company generate over $100 billion in revenue during the quarter.
Based on today’s disclosure and recent stock performance, Buffett is now sitting on over $5 billion worth of Google stock after the blowout quarterly results reported in October 2025. Despite this new position, Berkshire Hathaway still maintains over $300 billion in cash and short-term treasury securities, suggesting that additional purchases may be forthcoming before the end of the year.
Here are 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 also disclosed that it sold 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 this new Google position, GOOGL stock jumped 4% in after-hours trading, reflecting strong investor confidence in Buffett’s latest move.
