Pakistan Plans Bitcoin Reserve Amid Global Cryptocurrency Adoption Wave

Pakistan is taking the lead in a global trend towards crypto adoption, announcing plans for a strategic Bitcoin reserve. The move follows a shift in policies under President Trump’s administration, and mirrors similar initiatives by nations like El Salvador, North Korea, and Bhutan. 2025 saw the US launch its own Bitcoin reserve, with initial holdings coming from confiscated assets, while Pakistan’s government has allocated significant power for mining operations.
