Michael Saylor Joins Pakistan’s Bitcoin Push as Adviser

Bitcoin Billionaire Meets Pakistan’s Top Officials

Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), has officially entered Pakistan’s crypto scene. During a Sunday meeting with Pakistan’s Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb and State Minister for Blockchain and Crypto Bilal Bin Saqib, Saylor pledged support and guidance for the country’s digital asset ambitions.

The high-profile visit follows Pakistan’s recent pivot toward pro-crypto regulation, including the creation of a new crypto authority and bold plans to establish a Bitcoin reserve.

In a video posted to X, Saylor emphasized that trust and vision were the foundation of his success, noting that markets gave him billions because of clarity and commitment. “Capital and capability will flow to Pakistan,” he added. “It’s there—it wants to find a home.”

Saylor's Bitcoin Legacy and What It Means for Pakistan

Saylor’s Strategy holds 582,000 BTC worth over $61 billion, making it the largest Bitcoin-holding public company in the world. The company’s strategy of buying BTC with billions in debt and equity has resulted in its stock surging over 3,000% since 2020.

His visit to Islamabad sends a strong signal that Pakistan’s crypto efforts are being taken seriously by global market leaders. Saylor made it clear that if Pakistan can communicate a strong, clear message on its Bitcoin strategy, global capital will follow.

Pakistan’s Vision to Lead the Global South in Crypto

Pakistan isn’t just dipping its toes into digital assets—it wants to lead. Minister Aurangzeb stated the country “aspires to lead the Global South in the development and adoption of digital assets.”

Meanwhile, Minister Saqib said that Saylor’s transformation of Strategy into a BTC vehicle should serve as inspiration for Pakistan.

This effort is part of a broader plan to position Pakistan as a “Web3 and Bitcoin-ready emerging market,” according to a government press release.

Fast-Tracking Legislation with Help from the Pakistan Crypto Council

Pakistan’s crypto push is also being institutionalized. Earlier this month, the Pakistan Crypto Council, a state-backed body formed in March, presented a draft regulatory framework to the Finance Ministry. The Ministry agreed to fast-track the approval of the proposed laws.

The Council is led by Bilal Bin Saqib, who also serves as an adviser to World Liberty Financial—a crypto platform connected to former US President Donald Trump and his family.

If approved, these laws will solidify Pakistan’s position as a crypto-forward nation, with legal clarity and a strong framework to support innovation and foreign investment.

A Defining Moment for Pakistan’s Digital Asset Strategy

With Saylor on board, Pakistan’s crypto ambitions gain global validation and a powerful voice. The alliance is more than symbolic—it's a signal to the crypto world that Pakistan is serious about becoming a central player in the emerging blockchain economy.
