Berkshire Hathaway buys $17B in Alphabet shares, making it its third largest holding.

Berkshire Hathaway significantly increased its stake in Alphabet by $17 billion in Q2, making Alphabet its third largest equity holding worth about $36.6 billion. The purchase included $10 billion from a private placement and $7 billion from the open market. Berkshire also boosted its Delta Air Lines shares by 44%, while reducing stakes in financial firms like Bank of America and Capital One. Despite these moves, investor Michael Burry expressed concerns about Berkshire's cash spending strategy under CEO Greg Abel, fearing a loss of Warren Buffett's patient investment approach.
