Bitcoin payment app Strike highlighted Bitcoin's returns in light of Apple CEO Tim Cook's departure. Strike stated on X that Apple's stock price rose 20 times during Cook's 15-year tenure as CEO, while Bitcoin rose more than 7,500 times during the same period. Strike explained, "Cook's tenure is considered one of the best management performances ever, but Bitcoin, without a CEO, board of directors, or quarterly results, overshadowed it." It added, "No asset comes close to Bitcoin."
