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