Pakistan Launches Bitcoin Strategic Reserve: A Leap Towards Decentralized Finance

Facing political challenges, economic instability, and border disputes with India, Pakistan is embracing a bold new approach. The nation has announced plans to establish a government-led Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, marking a significant shift from its previous anti-crypto stance. This initiative was revealed at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas by Bilal bin Saqib, head of the Pakistan Crypto Council. He praised the US for inspiring this new strategy and highlighted that these Bitcoins will remain indefinitely without being sold, emphasizing a long-term commitment rather than speculation.
