Tim Cook: I have been holding Bitcoin for three years, but Apple has no intention of entering the cryptocurrency market in the short term

According to CEO Today, Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed in a recent interview that he has personally held Bitcoin for three years as part of his diversified investments. However, Cook has made it clear that this investment is a personal action and has nothing to do with Apple Inc. Apple will not incorporate cryptocurrency into its business models, including payment systems or corporate investment portfolios, in the near or future. Cook pointed out that the potential of Bitcoin is worth paying attention to, but Apple still maintains a cautious attitude towards emerging technologies. At present, Apple is focusing on core product lines such as smartphones, computers, wearable devices, and related services, rather than entering the highly volatile encryption market. Meanwhile, although Apple allows the App Store to launch encrypted wallets and blockchain related applications, it has no plans to further directly participate in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Compared to Tesla and other companies openly embracing Bitcoin, Apple's conservative approach reflects its brand's core values of stability and user safety. Although Cook's statement shows his personal approval of Bitcoin, it also clarifies Apple's wait-and-see attitude in the cryptocurrency field.
