Google is the Berkshire Hathaway of Tech. But instead of railroads and insurance, it owns the internet itself 😳

Google is the Berkshire Hathaway of Tech. But instead of railroads and insurance, it owns the internet itself

Every day:

→ Google handles 13-14 billion searches → Android powers ~70%+ of global smartphones → YouTube has 2.5 billion+ monthly logged-in users

That’s not a company. That’s planetary infrastructure 🌍

But here’s the part few talk about - Alphabet’s hidden empire of bets and stakes worth over $100 billion 🤯

↳ Equity stakes:

→ 14% in Anthropic ( $183B valuation) → 8% in SpaceX ($ 350B valuation) = $45B+ in unrealized gains.

↳ Transformative acquisitions:

→ YouTube - bought for $1.65B in 2006 → now$ 30B+ annual revenue. → Android - bought for $50M → powers 70% of the world’s phones. → DeepMind - the backbone of Gemini AI, one of the leaders in the space.

↳ Venture arms:

CapitalG & GV backed Airbnb, Stripe, Databricks, UiPath, Duolingo, and more. Quietly compounding behind the scenes.

↳ Moonshots:

Waymo. Verily. Wing. Quantum. Fusion. Some fail. Others become billion-dollar engines.

So Alphabet doesn’t just make ads.

It allocates capital like Buffett and scales like NASA.

$85B in capex.$ 45B in R&D. $100B in cash.

A machine that reinvests every dollar into the next trillion-dollar wave - AI, cloud, autonomy, quantum.

And with Gemini now powering Search, Cloud, and Android… Alphabet’s next phase could add $100B+ in new revenue by 2030.

Analysts see $5 trillion market cap on the horizon.

Berkshire built the industrial age, Google is now building the intelligence age.
