Pakistan is getting serious about crypto, and it just got a major boost from one of the biggest names in the space. Michael Saylor, a U.S. billionaire and a well-known Bitcoin supporter, has offered to help the country build its digital currency policies and attract global investors. The move comes as Pakistan looks to strengthen its economy through the smart use of cryptocurrency. 

Despite the Middle East tensions, the Israel-Iran conflict, the global market remains unaffected by Bitcoin plans, and the market is turning back all the bearish signals. On top of this, Saylor’s stepping into as crypto advisor is giving hope to 40 million crypto users in Pakistan.  

A Landmark Meeting with Big Crypto Ambitions

On Sunday, Saylor sat down in Islamabad with Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb and State Minister for Blockchain and Crypto, Bilal Bin Saqib. The discussion was described as a “landmark” moment for Pakistan’s crypto journey. Saylor praised the country’s vision and said he would be glad to act as an adviser to help shape Pakistan’s digital asset policies. He pointed out that Pakistan has “many brilliant people” and the potential to show “intellectual leadership” to the rest of the world.

He told the ministers that when markets trust a leader, they bring in money, just like they trusted his company, which saw massive growth after investing in Bitcoin. Strategy now holds around 582,000 BTC, valued at over $62 billion as of June 2025, and its market cap has skyrocketed from $1.2 billion to over $105 billion since 2020. The recent post by Sailor hinted that the company is planning to buy more BTC soon. 

Pakistan Wants to Lead the Developing World

The country is already making strong progress. In March, Pakistan launched the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) to help build crypto laws. In April, it introduced its first-ever crypto policy 2025, designed to meet global compliance standards such as those set by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).

The government is also fast-tracking legislation drafted by the PCC. Saqib, who heads the council, also revealed plans to set up a national Bitcoin reserve, a bold move signaling Pakistan’s commitment to becoming a crypto-forward economy. Meanwhile, Saylor also encouraged Pakistan’s idea of creating a Bitcoin reserve, basically a stash of Bitcoin that the country would keep like gold. He believes this could help Pakistan stand out as a forward-thinking nation.
