“I do. Yeah, I think it’s reasonable to own it as a part of a diversified portfolio.”
“And I’m not giving anybody any investment advice, by the way.”
Additionally, Tim goes on to note on his personal interest in crypto technology for some time now.
Also, how he “thinks it’s interesting.”
More so, Tim Cook confirms that he is talking about his own personal investments, not Apple’s.
Furthermore, enquiries around if the tech giant will also allocate corporate funds into crypto investments comes.
Then, Tim says this,
“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.”
So, Tim Cook concludes.
Currently, Apple’s popular Wallet app supports a variety of traditional payment methods even peer-to-peer payments, but not crypto.

Of course, this is to work closely with the Apple Wallet team.
Lastly, Tim Cook says that Apple has no “immediate plans” to look at cryptocurrency technology.
