  • Berkshire Hathaway Bets on Quantum via Amazon and Alphabet, Not Niche Qubits
    December 22, 2025, 4:40 AM EST. Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has quietly embraced quantum computing exposure via stakes in two tech giants, Amazon and Alphabet, rather than niche qubit-makers. The move aligns with Buffett's principle to invest in businesses within his circle of competence, even when the tech is cutting-edge. AWS powers quantum workloads through Amazon Braket and recently unveiled the Ocelot chip, while Alphabet's Google Quantum AI has delivered milestones, including powerful qubit demonstrations. The bets total about $7.7 billion across Amazon and Alphabet, showing how traditional investors can gain quantum exposure without buying dedicated quantum startups. The takeaway: Buffett's rules can coexist with quantum strategy when cloud-based platforms align with core business models.
