Pakistan launches crypto diplomacy with strategic Bitcoin reserve

Pakistan has officially stepped into a new era of digital transformation and tech diplomacy, with Special Assistant to the Prime Minister Bilal Bin Saqib leading the charge in reshaping the nation’s economic and technological outlook.

During a series of high-level engagements in the United States, Bilal Bin Saqib introduced what is being dubbed as “crypto diplomacy”, holding strategic dialogues with Web3 pioneers and blockchain leaders to position Pakistan as a forward-thinking digital economy.

One of the most significant milestones under his leadership is the launch of the Pakistan Crypto Council’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, marking a historic moment in the country’s journey toward blockchain integration.

The move reflects Pakistan’s commitment to adopting decentralized financial systems as part of its broader economic strategy.

In a parallel development, the Government of Pakistan has allocated 2,000 megawatts of electricity specifically for artificial intelligence, blockchain, and Bitcoin mining operations.

The initiative has been welcomed across the global Web3 and blockchain community, with experts viewing Pakistan as a potential hub in the evolving decentralized digital economy.

With this bold pivot toward technological self-reliance and diplomacy, Pakistan is signaling its readiness to lead in the global digital revolution.
