Alphabet, Apple, and another holding account for 37.4% of Berkshire’s $330 billion equity portfolio amid AI integration.
Berkshire Hathaway’s $330 billion stock portfolio has 37.4%, or $123 billion, allocated to three companies leveraging artificial intelligence. The holdings reflect indirect exposure to AI rather than a direct thematic bet by CEO Greg Abel or predecessor Warren Buffett, who prioritized steady growth and shareholder returns over trend-chasing investments during his 60-year tenure ending in 2025.
Under Buffett, Berkshire delivered a 19.7% compound annual return, turning a $500 investment in 1965 into $24.2 million by 2025. The conglomerate’s largest AI-linked position is Alphabet, which comprises 6.8% of the portfolio. Alphabet’s Google Search, generating half its revenue, initially faced threats from AI chatbots but has since integrated the technology to enhance its core business.
The remaining two AI-linked stocks, while unnamed in the report, underscore Berkshire’s preference for established firms with durable earnings. Abel, a longtime Buffett disciple, continues this strategy, avoiding speculative bets despite AI’s rapid adoption across industries.
