In a recent interview with CEO Today, Apple CEO Tim Cook shared that he has personally held Bitcoin for the past three years as part of his diversified investment approach.
Cook stressed that this decision is entirely personal and unrelated to Apple’s corporate strategy. He clarified that the tech giant has no intention of incorporating cryptocurrencies into its operations, whether through payment systems or corporate investments, in the foreseeable future.
While acknowledging Bitcoin’s potential, Cook noted that Apple is prioritizing its core business areas, such as smartphones, computers, wearables, and related services.
He highlighted the company’s careful approach to emerging technologies, opting to maintain a focus on its established product ecosystem. Although Apple supports cryptocurrency wallets and blockchain applications through its App Store, it has no plans to deepen its involvement in the crypto space.
Unlike firms such as Tesla, which have embraced Bitcoin more openly, Apple’s strategy reflects its emphasis on stability and security—key pillars of its brand identity. Cook’s remarks reveal his personal interest in Bitcoin while reinforcing Apple’s cautious approach to the volatile world of cryptocurrencies.
