Summary · why it matters

Warren Buffett personally initiated Berkshire Hathaway's $30 billion investment in Alphabet, signaling he remains involved in major decisions despite stepping down as CEO at the end of 2025. Buffett, now chairman, told CNBC he made the call on the Alphabet stake with the approval of his successor, CEO Greg Abel. The two communicate frequently, with Buffett providing guidance while Abel runs day-to-day operations and has already put his own imprint on the company, such as integrating the newly acquired Taylor Morrison Home with Berkshire's other housing businesses. Buffett left Abel with nearly $400 billion in cash to navigate downturns and pursue acquisitions.
