In a significant move to improve digital economy, Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb chaired a high-level meeting with Minister of State for Crypto and Blockchain Bilal Bin Saqib and Michael Saylor, executive chairman of strategy, the world's largest corporate holder of Bitcoin.
The discussions centred on leveraging Bitcoin as a tool for sovereign reserves, enhancing monetary resilience, and facilitating Pakistan's long-term digital transformation.
Michael Saylor, a prominent advocate for Bitcoin and influential figure in global monetary strategy, has shaped discussions on economic sovereignty and decentralisation of financial power, Phoneworld reported.
Since adopting its Bitcoin strategy in 2020, Strategy has amassed approximately 582,000 BTC, valued at over $62 billion as of June 2025, propelling its market capitalisation from $1.2 billion to over $105 billion, making it one of the decade's top-performing tech stocks.
Aurangzeb also reflected on Pakistan's ambition to lead the Global South in digital asset development.
Bilal Bin Saqib remarked on the historic significance of this initiative, highlighting Saylor's transformative impact on his company. He questioned why Pakistan, with its talent and resources, could not achieve similar success in the digital economy.
