Bilal Bin Saqib, the Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Blockchain in Pakistan, revealed at the Bitcoin 2025 conference that the nation is preparing to create a government strategic Bitcoin reserve.
Saqib indicated that this initiative will be executed in collaboration with stakeholders from the private sector and aims to broaden state reserves, which have historically been focused on gold and foreign currencies. The strategic Bitcoin reserve is not intended for investment or speculative trading; rather, the cryptocurrency is meant to function as a means of national security and technological independence.

Pakistani officials and financial regulators are also looking to develop regulatory frameworks and management systems to guarantee the transparency, security, and long-term viability of the Bitcoin reserve.
The official further mentioned that the country’s untapped energy capacity will be utilized to foster technological advancement. Consequently, the government plans to allocate 2,000 MW of excess energy for BTC mining and the operation of data centers, along with the initiation of state and private initiatives in artificial intelligence and distributed ledger technology systems.
Max Krupyshev, CEO of CoinsPaid, discussed the potential of Bitcoin as a means for diversifying state reserves. He believes that BTC can lessen reliance on conventional financial assets. “Any state could implement this initiative if it sees strategic value in doing so,” Max concluded.
During his address, Saqib expressed gratitude to the United States on behalf of Pakistan’s authorities “for the inspiration.” He noted that U.S. national initiatives motivated Pakistan to establish its own Bitcoin reserve. In March 2025, Donald Trump signed an order to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve in the U.S., which increased the appeal of utilizing BTC as a reserve asset at the governmental level. For instance, in early May of this year, New Hampshire became the first state to officially establish a Bitcoin reserve.
