In a bold demonstration of Pakistan’s commitment to digital assets and economic innovation, Minister for Finance and Revenue Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb chaired a high-level meeting.
The meeting was attended by Minister of State for Crypto and Blockchain Bilal Bin Saqib and Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) — the world’s largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, said a press release issued by the Ministry of Finance on Sunday.
The discussion focused on how Bitcoin can serve as a tool for sovereign reserves, monetary resilience, and driving Pakistan’s long-term digital economic transformation.
Addressing the meeting Minister for Finance and Revenue Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb said that Pakistan aspires to lead the Global South in the development and adoption of digital assets, setting a benchmark for innovation, regulation, and inclusive growth in the digital economy.
Speaking on the occasion Minister of State for Crypto and Blockchain Bilal Bin Saqib said that Pakistan has taken a historic step forward for strengthening the digital economy.
“Michael Saylor’s insights and leadership have shaped how the world views Bitcoin as a sovereign-grade asset. In 5 years Mr Saylor transformed a mid-sized software firm into a $100+ billion company, purely through strategic vision, bold conviction, and disciplined execution. If private individuals can build that in the U.S.—why can’t Pakistan, as a nation, do the same? We have the talent, the story, and the energy”, he added.
Meanwhile during the meeting, Saylor praised Pakistan’s efforts to take a forward-looking, innovation-friendly stance in the global digital economy and welcomed the opportunity to advise and support ongoing developments.
“Pakistan has many brilliant people. It also has commitment and clarity needed by businesses globally.”
