Is the loyalty represented by the golden trophy transferrable? Or is it tied to each CEO, like Applecare+?

As long as he goes by "John Apple" he should be ok - usually the bribe gets credited to the surname.

It sounds like Cook will continue to get the dirty work of pleasing world leaders while Ternus can focus on actually running the company.

I believe these bribes/flatteries mostly confer a single-use benefit. Things like golden trophies seem to buy a victory in that moment, but they seem to have little relevance on decisions made even a month later, regardless of who gifted it and whether they're still at the helm.

I think you will have your answer if you consider which approach nets the recipient the larger number of golden tributes.

Depends if you want a FIFA Peace Prize or not.
