Pakistan Goes All-In on Bitcoin: National Reserve, Mega Mining Power & Trump-Backed Crypto Deal Shock Markets.
Pakistan is making significant strides in the cryptocurrency sector, positioning itself as a forward-thinking player in the global digital economy.
On May 28, 2025, Bilal Bin Saqib, CEO of the Pakistan Crypto Council and Minister of Crypto and Blockchain, announced at the Bitcoin 2025 Vegas conference that Pakistan will establish a national bitcoin reserve. The government plans to hold bitcoin in a national wallet with no intention of selling, signaling a long-term commitment to digital currency.
In a related move, the government has allocated 2,000 megawatts of electricity to support bitcoin mining and artificial intelligence data centers. This initiative aims to utilize surplus electricity capacity and foster technological advancement.
Furthermore, Pakistan has entered into an agreement with World Liberty Financial (WLF), a cryptocurrency company reportedly backed by the family of U.S. President Donald Trump. This partnership indicates Pakistan's interest in expanding its involvement in the digital financial sector.
To support these developments, the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) has been established as a regulatory body to oversee and promote blockchain technology and digital assets within the country. The PCC aims to formulate policies, foster innovation, and ensure secure adoption of cryptocurrency in Pakistan.
These initiatives reflect Pakistan's commitment to embracing blockchain technology and integrating digital assets into its financial system.
