What happens to stock price if there’s a circular purchase?


I'm curious about what happens to stock price movement if 2 stocks contain each other. An example is BRK.B and VOO. BRK.B holds VOO and VOO also holds BRK.B.

Let's say hypothetically, they both own 20% of each other. Say BRK.B goes up by $1, then VOO would go up by $0.2. But then BRK.B has to go up by $0.04, and the loop continues.

Is that what actually happens?
