Berkshire Hathaway’s Investment in Quantum Computing
Berkshire Hathaway has made a $2 billion investment in Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), its only direct exposure to quantum computing. Additionally, its subsidiary, New England Asset Management, holds positions in Microsoft and Alphabet, with both companies actively developing quantum chips. Collectively, these investments account for less than 1% of Berkshire’s total portfolio value, as noted in recent 13F filings.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) leads the cloud market with a 29% share, significantly ahead of competitors like Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform. Meanwhile, Berkshire’s strategic positions in technology companies reflect Warren Buffett’s cautious approach to the tech sector despite potential growth in AI and quantum computing.
