Berkshire Hathaway has strengthened its investment in Alphabet, committing an additional $10 billion through a private stock purchase, according to the company’s announcement.
The deal includes $5 billion worth of Alphabet Class A shares and $5 billion in Class C shares. The investment adds to Berkshire’s rapidly growing position in the Google parent company, making it one of the conglomerate’s largest recent equity bets.
The move reflects Berkshire’s increasing confidence in Alphabet’s role in the artificial intelligence sector, particularly across search, cloud computing and digital infrastructure.

The report said the investment also offers an early indication of CEO Greg Abel’s approach to capital allocation as he prepares to lead the company after Warren Buffett.
According to Alphabet, the investment forms part of a broader $80 billion stock offering. The company plans to use the funds for general corporate purposes, including expanding AI infrastructure and computing capacity to meet rising customer demand.
The investment comes shortly after Berkshire agreed to acquire homebuilder Taylor Morrison Home in a $6.8 billion cash deal.
