Pakistan has introduced a new global identity in the economy and technology.
According to sources, the announcement of the strategic Bitcoin Reserve was made by Bilal Bin Saqib, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Blockchain and Crypto, and CEO of the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC).
The announcement took place during Bitcoin Vegas 2025. PCC CEO Bilal Bin Saqib also extended special thanks to Donald Trump, praising the U.S. President’s role in promoting peace amid recent India-Pakistan tensions and in adopting crypto.
Sources said that U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, Eric Trump, and Donald Trump Jr. were also present at the event. Pakistan currently has 40 million crypto wallets and is among the world’s largest and most active freelance economies. During his address, Bilal Bin Saqib also announced the establishment of a National Bitcoin Wallet.
The National Bitcoin Wallet will store digital assets already in state custody. In the first phase, the government has allocated over 2,000 megawatts of power for Bitcoin mining and AI data centers. This move opens the door for independent miners, tech companies, and international blockchain firms.
The establishment of the Pakistan Digital Assets Authority was also announced to regulate blockchain-based financial infrastructure.
