The conglomerate recently disclosed a $4.3 billion position in Alphabet in its latest 13F filing, making Google parent Berkshire’s 10th largest holding at the end of September. At the time, the move was notable in large part because Berkshire had long been reluctant to enter high-growth technology companies other than Apple. The timing of the purchase is attracting investors’ attention. Berkshire likely entered the position just weeks before Alphabet’s biggest AI release in…
