Apple stock rose 20-fold during Cook's tenure, Bitcoin 7,500-fold

Bitcoin payment app Strike used the occasion of Apple CEO Tim Cook's retirement to highlight the cryptocurrency's returns. Strike noted on X that while Apple's stock price rose 20-fold during Cook's 15-year tenure, Bitcoin surged by more than 7,500-fold over the same period. Strike explained that while Cook's tenure is regarded as one of the greatest executive performances of all time, Bitcoin has overwhelmingly surpassed it without a CEO, board of directors, or quarterly earnings reports. The company added that no other asset comes close to Bitcoin.
