With little other evidence that Apple has any serious interest in cryptocurrency, let alone a specific coin, it is reasonably safe to say that the company has not officially purchased a large quantity of bitcoin.

Did Apple buy bitcoins?

Bitcoin was trading at a little over $34,000 mark on Monday when the tweets went out and slipped below the $31,000-mark on Wednesday morning, according to CoinMarketCap. Bitcoiners had in fact outright debunked the rumour. Apple just bought $2,5 billion worth of Bitcoin!!!

Who owns Bitcoin now?

Bitcoin is open source, meaning its design is public. No one person owns or controls Bitcoin, and anyone can participate.
