Alphabet, the parent company of Google, is planning to raise $80 billion through stock offerings to fund its investments in artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure. This move aims to expand its AI infrastructure and global computing capacity. As part of this plan, Berkshire Hathaway will invest $10 billion in Alphabet.
Google's investments in AI infrastructure include the development of data centers and computing capacity, which will be powered by AI accelerators such as tensor processing units (TPUs) provided by Broadcom. Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust recently sold 40 shares of Broadcom, reducing its weighting in the company to 3.75% from 4.2%.
Other companies are also making significant investments in AI. CoreWeave, a cloud capacity provider for AI model builders and enterprises, reported a revenue growth of 111.7% year-over-year to $2.08 billion in Q1 2026. Blue Cloud Ventures, a firm focused on enterprise software companies positioned to benefit from AI adoption, closed its fifth fund, raising over $1 billion in assets under management.
Meanwhile, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman discussed the company's top token user, acknowledging that cost concerns have become a 'huge issue.' Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora reported a surge in customer engagement as organizations seek help preparing for AI-related risks, with 1,200 meeting requests from customers in recent weeks.
