Pakistan is considering integrating Bitcoin into its financial system as a state reserve, following discussions between Michael Saylor, executive chairman of Strategy, and Pakistani officials. On June 15, 2025, Saylor met with Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb and State Minister for Blockchain and Crypto Bilal Bin Saqib in Islamabad to explore this initiative. This move aligns with Pakistan's recent efforts to enhance its cryptocurrency policies, marked by the establishment of the Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority in May 2025. Saylor, a well-known Bitcoin advocate, is advising Pakistan on becoming a Web3 and Bitcoin-ready market, aiming to boost financial autonomy amid challenges like foreign exchange shortages and IMF oversight. While the initiative reflects a growing trend of nation-states adopting Bitcoin reserves, analysts warn of potential difficulties in policy implementation.
