“And I’m not giving anybody any investment advice, by the way.”

Also, how he “thinks it’s interesting.”

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.”
