Here’s how much Warren Buffett will earn in dividends from his Google stake

According to the latest disclosure from Berkshire Hathaway, legendary investor Warren Buffett’s firm holds approximately 17.85 million shares of Alphabet Inc. (ticker GOOGL). With Alphabet paying a quarterly dividend of $0.21 per share, that puts Berkshire’s haul at roughly $3.75 million each quarter, or about $15 million annually, assuming the share count remains unchanged. At the current dividend yield of 0.30%, backed by a forward payout ratio of about 7.54%, Alphabet is taking a conservative approach—retaining most earnings for reinvestment and buy‑backs. The next dividend payment is scheduled for December 15, 2025, with the ex‑dividend date falling on December 8. In the broader context, Berkshire’s portfolio as of September 30 reported equity holdings of about $308.9 billion, with a record cash pile of roughly $381.7 billion. Apple remains the largest single holding (~$64.6 billion), followed by Bank of America, American Express, Coca‑Cola, Chevron and others. This latest dividend stream from Alphabet adds further cash‑flow muscle to Buffett’s portfolio, which is increasingly skewed toward businesses generating real earnings and dividends rather than speculative bets. #WarrenBuffett #AlphabetDividend #BerkshireHathaway #DividendIncome #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
