Filing facts / Q3 2025
The record behind the replay.
This is a replay of GOOGL, the Class A security in the filing. It is not a reconstruction of Berkshire’s entry price, holding-period return or current position. Alphabet’s operating news and the broader market can affect every later price in the chart.
- Reported share quantity
- 17,846,142 shares
- Reported quarter-end value
- $4,338,397,121.00
- Security identifier
- 02079K305
Combined from 2 non-option rows for this security in this single filing. The original table reports values in USD. Value is a quarter-end mark, not purchase cost. Source rows retain their manager designations in the linked table.
The reviewed June 30, 2025 public information table contains no matching GOOGL CUSIP. Newly reported describes these public tables; it does not date the purchase or prove this was the earliest public mention.

How to read the numbers
A replay you can check.
01 / Start after the filing
The base entry is the next trading session’s close after the filing date, whether the filing arrived during trading or after the close. Scion’s Alibaba filing arrived during market hours; the other selected filings arrived after the close. It is a reproducible daily-price convention, not the earliest executable trade. Overnight and first-session moves are already in that entry price.
02 / Keep the exit fixed
Choose an exit 20 or 60 trading sessions after the base entry. Waiting one or five sessions moves the entry only. All scenarios exit on the same date; delayed entries therefore have shorter holding periods. Sessions follow the observed SPY trading dates, including holiday gaps.
03 / Compare like with like
Price change = (exit close ÷ entry close − 1) × 100. SPY uses the same dates. The difference is measured in percentage points, not risk-adjusted alpha. The chart rebases both series to 100 at the selected entry. Prices are USD closes from Yahoo Finance; the reviewed windows contain no recorded stock splits.
04 / Keep the limits visible
Dividends, trading costs, taxes and slippage are excluded. The snapshot-to-filing comparison is not the manager’s return. A weekend quarter-end uses the last trading close on or before that date. For an intraday filing, the filing-day close includes post-disclosure trading. Options, short positions and a manager’s actual trade dates are not reconstructed. These six selected cases cannot establish causation, predictive power or a profitable strategy.
