Pakistan’s Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb and State Minister of Crypto Bilal Bin Saqib, held a dialog not too long ago with the Govt Chairman and CEO of Technique, Michael Saylor, about Bitcoin and its potential position in Pakistan’s economic system.
Saylor highlighted the essential position of belief and management in attracting international capital, citing his personal journey of turning a $400 million funding right into a $40 billion market backed place via Bitcoin.
“Today, I will stay in touch with Bilal,” he stated. “Pakistan has many brilliant people and a lot of people to do business with you. My company had less than $400 million to invest, but the markets gave me $40 billion because they trust us. And so the most important thing is leadership, intellectual leadership and that they trust you.”
Saylor additional emphasised that belief and readability of imaginative and prescient are what drive international capital flows.
“If the world trusts you and they hear your words, and you speak particularly, the capital and the capability will flow to Pakistan,” stated Saylor. “It’s there, it wants to find a home and that’s what happened with our company. Our success is because we were clear and committed. And once the market decides who the leader is. They get behind the leader and they send their money to you. And I think they’d do it to Pakistan too. You have the most important thing, which is you have a commitment and a will and clarity here. So, I look forward to working with you.”
The brand new stance is a stark change for Pakistan, which had beforehand banned Bitcoin buying and selling in 2018. On March 20, Bilal Bin Saqib advised Bloomberg that Pakistan was planning to legalize Bitcoin and attempt to implement a regulatory framework to draw traders.
“Pakistan is done sitting on the sidelines,” stated Saqib. “We want to attract international investment because Pakistan is a low-cost, high-growth market with 60% of the population under 30… Trump is making crypto a national priority, and every country, including Pakistan, will have to follow suit.”
Throughout the 2025 Bitcoin Convention in Las Vegas, Saqib introduced that Pakistan was making a strategic Bitcoin reserve.
“Today, I will announce that the Pakistan government is setting up their own government led Bitcoin strategic reserve… and this wallet, the national Bitcoin wallet,” stated Saqib. “It’s not for speculation or hype. We will be holding this Bitcoin and we will never ever sell them.”
