Until May 2025, Apple remains cautious towards cryptocurrencies, despite CEO Tim Cook's personal interest in Bitcoin. In a 2024 interview, Cook stated that he owns Bitcoin as part of his personal investment portfolio, but emphasized that Apple has no immediate plans to adopt cryptocurrencies or integrate them into its financial or investment systems.

Apple allows its users to download cryptocurrency wallet applications through the App Store, indicating an indirect acceptance of these applications. However, there are no signs that the company plans to add cryptocurrency-related features to the "Apple Wallet" app or accept cryptocurrencies as a payment method.

In November 2024, Apple announced a $500 billion investment in the United States, focusing on areas like artificial intelligence, manufacturing, and engineering. Although cryptocurrencies were not mentioned in this announcement, some analysts speculated that this investment could pave the way for Apple's entry into the digital asset market, based on the company's technical capabilities and its large user base.

Despite these speculations, there are no concrete steps from Apple yet toward integrating cryptocurrencies into its ecosystem. The company continues to monitor market developments and may reassess its position in the future.
