Berkshire Holds 37.4% of $330 Billion Portfolio in 3 AI-Linked Stocks
5 articles · Updated · The Motley Fool · May 23
Three Berkshire Hathaway holdings tied to artificial intelligence—Apple, Coca-Cola and Alphabet—now account for 37.4% of its $330 billion public-stock portfolio.
Apple is the biggest at 20.7%, even after Berkshire sold roughly three-quarters of its stake in 2024 and 2025 to cut concentration risk and lock in gains.
Coca-Cola makes up 9.9% of the portfolio, with Berkshire's long-held 400 million shares now worth $32.7 billion and generating $816 million in dividends last year.
Alphabet represents 6.8% after Berkshire nearly tripled the position in the first quarter; Google Search posted a record $60.4 billion in Q1 2026 revenue, up 19%, helped by AI features.
The mix shows Greg Abel largely sticking to Buffett's approach: backing established companies using AI to strengthen core businesses rather than chasing speculative AI bets.

Overview
As of May 2026, Berkshire Hathaway’s portfolio reflects a strategic shift under CEO Greg Abel, who oversaw the exit of 16 positions in Q1, marking a departure from Warren Buffett’s previous approach. The company maintains significant exposure to firms leveraging artificial intelligence, most notably Coca-Cola, which uses AI to enhance manufacturing, logistics, and customer experience across its 200+ brands. Coca-Cola’s adoption of AI engines to process customer data and its investment in cloud technology highlight Berkshire’s focus on companies integrating advanced technology, signaling an evolution in its investment strategy toward AI-driven growth.
