As recently as the end of December, Berkshire held only 17.8 million Alphabet shares worth $5.6 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Alphabet has said it plans to raise $80 billion to pay for the computing infrastructure needed to power its AI offerings.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond tech, Berkshire continued to boost its investments in the U.S. homebuilding sector. Its stake in homebuilder Lennar increased nearly 30% in the second quarter. Berkshire also established a small new stake in D.R. Horton that was worth $580,504 at the end of June.<\/p>\n<p>In July, Berkshire completed a $6.8 billion acquisition of homebuilder Taylor Morrison.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Berkshire also sharply increased its shares in Delta Air Lines and Macy\u2019s in the second quarter.
