Tim Cook Reveals He Owns Cryptocurrency and Has Been ‘Interested in It For a While’

The comments came during Cook’s appearance at The New York Times “DealBook” summit, where Cook was questioned on privacy, sideloading, and more.

Answering whether he owns any cryptocurrency, Cook replied “I do,” adding that “it’s reasonable to own it as a part of a diversified portfolio. I’m not giving anybody investment advice, by the way.” Cook said that Apple has no “immediate” plans to accept cryptocurrency as a means of payment for its products or within Apple Pay.
