Apple CEO Tim Cook Reveals He Owns Bitcoin
In an interview today, Apple CEO Tim Cook confirmed that he has Bitcoin holdings when he was asked the question during the DealBook conference. Cook said:
“I do. I think it’s reasonable to own it as part of a diversified portfolio. I’m not giving anyone investment advice by the way.”
Cook went on and explained that he had been interested in Bitcoin and crypto “for a while” and has been on top if it, studying it well. The Apple chief stressed that this is largely his personal point of view” and that his company is not (yet) looking to become a part of the crypto space.
Cook commented:
“I wouldn’t go invest in crypto, not because I wouldn’t invest my own money, but because I don’t think people buy Apple stock to get exposure to crypto,”
