Berkshire Hathaway has significantly increased its stake in Alphabet Inc., according to newly released Q1 2026 regulatory filings. 1. Berkshire reportedly raised its Alphabet holdings from about 18 million shares to nearly 58 million shares. 2. The position is now valued between roughly $16.6 billion and $23 billion, depending on market pricing and share class calculations. 3. The move came under new CEO Greg Abel after Warren Buffett stepped down as CEO earlier in 2026. 4. Berkshire simultaneously exited or reduced positions in companies including Visa, Mastercard, Amazon, and UnitedHealth. This is notable because Berkshire historically avoided large technology bets outside of Apple. The larger Alphabet position signals growing confidence in Google’s AI, cloud, and advertising businesses. Recent reports also suggest investors view the purchase as a major endorsement of Alphabet’s long-term AI strategy and cash-generation strength. #BerkshireHeavilyIncreasesAlphabetStake #THORChainHackCauses$10.7MLoss #SpaceXEyesJune12NasdaqListing
