Berkshire and Druckenmiller Bet Big on Alphabet in Q2
Berkshire Hathaway boosted its Alphabet stake by about 48 million shares in Q2, bringing the total to roughly 106 million worth $37.8 billion and about 10.2% of Berkshire’s portfolio, with most of the new shares coming from Alphabet’s $10 billion private placement to fund AI infra; Buffett has said Alphabet was his idea and Abel handles stock picking. Separately, Druckenmiller started a new Alphabet position and raised Amazon while trimming other bets; both investors also bought Delta Air Lines and D.R. Horton in the quarter, illustrating two very different approaches converging on Alphabet in the same period, though 13Fs are backward-looking and not a buy/sell recommendation.
