BITCOIN is as tangible as a chocolate coin a top investor has warned in a hilarious quip about the cryptocurrency.

Appearing on Bloomberg, Mr Kotok offered the hosts a “New Year’s gift” – a chocolate coin shaped like a bitcoin.

Handing out the sweet treat, he said: “I brought proof that bitcoin can be tangible, here’s a New Year’s gift for each of you.”

The delighted presenters asked if the gift was chocolate.

Mr Kotok said that the chocolate version of the cryptocurrency had more value than the real thing.

He said: “That is a chocolate covered bitcoin, that is the most tangible value you will see in bitcoin.”
