Pakistan Announces Strategic Reserve 'Inspired' By Trump Moves In The US — Vows To Never Sell Bitcoin
- On May 28, 2025, at the Bitcoin Vegas conference in Las Vegas, Bilal Bin Saqib, head of the Pakistan Crypto Council, revealed the launch of Pakistan’s inaugural government-supported strategic Bitcoin reserve.
- This initiative followed the US establishing its own strategic Bitcoin reserve in March via an executive order by President Donald Trump to diversify national holdings beyond gold.
- Saqib stated the government will hold Bitcoin in a national wallet permanently and never sell the assets, signaling a long-term belief in decentralized finance.
- The government designated 2 gigawatts of excess power to support Bitcoin mining and AI data center operations, while collaborating with Trump-supported World Liberty Financial to promote blockchain developments.
- The move reflects a politically inspired strategy influenced by the US and aims to position Pakistan as a forward-looking digital innovation hub powered by its youth and new tech leadership.
