Berkshire Hathaway’s AI Investments Under Buffett’s Leadership
Warren Buffett, who has led Berkshire Hathaway for 60 years, saw the company’s stock deliver a remarkable compound annual return of 19.7%. An investment of $500 in 1965 would have grown to over $24.2 million by 2025. Berkshire, with a portfolio valued at $306 billion, focuses on long-term investments, avoiding trends; however, it holds stakes in companies leveraging AI technology.
Among its notable holdings, Apple constitutes 18.4% of the portfolio, with Berkshire investing approximately $38 billion, yielding a value over $170 billion. Amazon, representing only 0.2%, reported $128.7 billion in revenue for 2025, while Alphabet accounts for 1.8% and has maintained a market share of around 90% in the search engine space despite AI advancements. Berkshire’s diverse investments highlight its commitment to companies with reliable growth and innovation.
