Rumor Has It: Apple Soon To Announce Over $2 Billion Purchase of Bitcoin

Crypto Twitter went crazy with talk that Apple would soon announce a Bitcoin purchase in the billions of dollars. For example, Galaxy Trading is one of many pushing this rumor. According to them the purchase amount is more than $2 billion.

Crypto Twitter went crazy with talk that Apple would soon announce a Bitcoin purchase in the billions of dollars. For example, Galaxy Trading is one of many pushing this rumor. According to them the purchase amount is more than $2 billion.

According to the CEO of ChainLeak, Joshuwa Roomsburg, the rumored purchase amount is $2.5 billion. Roomsburg added, if the rumor is true, he will buy an iPhone to commemorate the occasion.

The real question is: with Apple’s not-so-great history with Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, is there any truth to this rumor?

Does Apple Find Bitcoin Too Controversial?

Back in February, when Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that the company had purchased $1.5 billion in Bitcoin, BTC spiked 20% on the day. This event marked the beginning of a bullish trend that topped out in mid-April, having hit a $65,000 price peak.

One could speculate that a similar trend would happen, if Apple reveals it has also bought Bitcoin. But, for every tweet endorsing the rumor, there are just as many rubbishing it.

The CEO of OnChain Capital, Ran Neuner, responded by flat out declaring it won’t happen, at least, not anytime soon.

Similarly, @Flappening playfully puts the chances of Apple buying Bitcoin in the negatives.

DevOps Engineer Alexander Ross raised the point that Apple is too brand conscious and unlikely to do anything controversial. He added that Bitcoin investing might be a step too far for the firm.

“Apple dont do anything controversial. They’re very brand conscious. Bitcoin does not at this juncture fit with its brand ethos. I would love nothing more, but its too rebellious a move for them and too many opportunities for people to use it against them.”

However, recent hearsay paints Apple in a pro-crypto light. If that that extends to a $2.5 billion investment is completely another story.

Apple Job Ad Signals Interest In Crypto
In May Apple posted a job ad looking for a Business Development Manager dealing with “Alternative Payments.” One of the key requirements for the job is over five years of experience working with alternative payment providers, including cryptocurrency.

“5+ years experience working in or with alternative payment providers, such as digital wallets, BNPL, Fast Payments, cryptocurrency and etc..“

Back in 2019, the Vice President of Apple Pay, Jennifer Bailey, said Apple thinks cryptocurrency is interesting, and they are watching it with interest.

But, other than the recent job posting, Apple has failed to make any affirmative moves towards Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

RBC Capital Markets Analyst Mitch Steves estimates Apple could generate as much as $40 billion from cryptocurrency by implementing crypto exchange functionality in the Apple Pay Wallet.

“Apple’s install base in 1.5B, and even if we assume only 200M users would transact, this is 6.66x larger than Square. Therefore, the potential revenue opportunity would be in excess of $40 billion a year (15% incremental top-line opportunity).”

This, Steves said is a safer play compared to producing the Apple car.

The price of Bitcoin failed to react as expected to the rumors. BTC is down 3% today.
