[Buffett Confirms Leading Berkshire Hathaway's $10 Billion Google Bets, Says Investment Secret Lies in Finding Companies with High Long-Term Returns] ⑴ Warren Buffett confirmed on Wednesday that he was the principal initiator of Berkshire Hathaway's massive investment in Alphabet, which the company first disclosed its holdings in the tech giant in the third quarter of 2025. ⑵ Berkshire has continued to increase its investment since then, adding $10 billion last month through private share purchases, significantly expanding its holdings. ⑶ In an interview, Buffett explained his investment philosophy, stating that the secret to life—especially in investing—lies in finding companies that can achieve high returns on capital over the long term. ⑷ Although Buffett has stepped down as CEO, he remains chairman. He stated that he maintains close collaboration with current CEO Greg Abel on investment decisions, and both parties mutually respect each other's judgments. ⑸ Buffett emphasized that Abel is the ultimate decision-maker, and the two maintain constant communication to ensure consistency in investment direction, continuing Berkshire's consistent partnership-style management.
