CNBC: Apple CEO Cook owns cryptocurrency and is interested in it from a personal point of view 
Apple CEO Tim Cook said he owns cryptocurrency he is only interested in it from a “personal point of view,” reports CNBC.
Cook stressed that he considers it prudent to own cryptocurrency as part of a diversified portfolio. “By the way, I don’t give anyone investment advice,” he joked.
The Apple CEO said that he had been interested in cryptocurrencies for some time and had carefully studied this issue. He also denied suggestions that the company is going to use this type of funds as a possible option for paying for the goods and services of the corporation. He also ruled out the possibility of Apple buying cryptocurrency for corporate funds as an investment.
“I would not invest in cryptocurrency, not because I would not invest my own money, but because I don’t think people are buying Apple shares to gain access to cryptocurrency, “Cook emphasized.
At the same time, Cook added that Apple is studying cryptocurrency technologies, but does not plan to do so in the near future.
In February this year, iPhone owners were allowed to pay with bitcoins. In Apple Pay, it became possible to add cards of the BitPay service, which allows you to make payments with cryptocurrency without transferring it to your usual means.
