How does a company (like Berkshire Hathaway) buy shares in publicly traded companies?

Question

I have been curious about this for a while. They’re obviously not using a basic brokerage account. Through what vehicle does a company hold shares in other public companies?

Answer 1

so basically companies like berkshire use investment firms or their own accounts to buy shares not a regular brokerage like us. they just have it all more organized and can handle larger amounts of money. it’s kinda like shopping at bulk stores but for stocks
