Private Placement

"In addition, Alphabet has reached an agreement to sell $10 billion of stock to Berkshire
Hathaway Inc. in a private placement, comprised of $5 billion in Class A Common Stock at a
price of $351.81 per share and $5 billion in Class C Capital Stock at a price of $348.20 per share.
This investment by Berkshire Hathaway adds to the position it has built since Q3 2025.'

The share price of these Claa A & C transactions are interesting in that there are sharp individuals here that believe GOOGL is "overvalued". Apparently the gents at Berkshire apparently don't thinks so.

WEB waited until AAPL was well beaten down before dipping his toe.

Margin of Safety, anyone?

Alternatively, cash as a percentage of the business is almost double what it was since that first AAPL purchase. I'd rather GOOG than cash and I think that's an important consideration at this moment. Almost 20 billion deployed in two days and they're still closer to 400 billion than 300.

If the goal is to increase BRK' share of irreplaceable tech going forward (I hope it is), you can do a lot worse than GOOG.
