Berkshire Hathaway ($BRK.B+WL) is strategically positioning a significant portion of its holdings toward artificial intelligence, with approximately 31% of its portfolio tied to two prominent AI-focused companies: Alphabet ($GOOGL+WL) and Apple ($AAPL+WL).
This allocation marks a notable evolution in the conglomerate's investment strategy, particularly under the purview of Greg Abel. While purchases of Alphabet began under Warren Buffett, the majority of the significant accumulation occurred after Abel assumed leadership, contributing to a portfolio share that grew from 0% to nearly 10% within a year across Alphabet's dual listings.
Alphabet's AI exposure within Berkshire's portfolio saw considerable growth, with its stake increasing from 14% to 24% for the core tech operations and from 32% to 82% for its Google Cloud segment. Separately, Apple represents over 20% of Berkshire's portfolio, though the conglomerate recently trimmed its stake from a high approaching 50%.
