Berkshire Hathaway has increased its stake in Alphabet by 83% to 106 million shares valued at $38 billion, signalling wall street confidence in Google AI trajectory.

Berkshire Hathaway revealed in regulatory filings that it significantly expanded its equity position in Alphabet Inc., purchasing millions of additional shares to bring its total holding to roughly $38 billion.
