In a bold and historic move, the Government of Pakistan has appointed Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy, as its official Bitcoin Advisor — marking the beginning of a new economic strategy centered around Bitcoin reserves.
A bold leap into the Bitcoin future as Pakistan eyes economic revival through Strategic Bitcoin Reserves
In a historic and headline-grabbing move, the Government of Pakistan has appointed Michael Saylor, the billionaire founder and Executive Chairman of Strategy — the firm that owns a staggering 592,000 Bitcoin — as its official Bitcoin Advisor.
The announcement was made by the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC), a newly formed think tank advising government leaders on crypto-economic innovation. According to the PCC, Pakistan is preparing to establish Strategic Bitcoin Reserves (SBR) in a bid to combat economic turmoil, high inflation, and an eroding fiat currency.
"Bitcoin offers us a hedge against fiat destruction and a pathway to monetary sovereignty,"
— Bilal Bin Saqib, CEO of Pakistan Crypto Council
🔥 Pakistan Faces Global Backlash — and a Turning Point
The announcement triggered immediate backlash from global financial institutions, most notably the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which currently maintains strict oversight on Pakistan’s fiscal roadmap due to ongoing debt programs.
Critics in the global media quickly labeled the move “reckless,” but supporters are calling it “revolutionary.”
Pakistan is at a crossroads. With over 240 million citizens, 60% of whom are under the age of 30, the country is struggling under foreign debt, a fragile currency, and double-digit inflation. In light of these challenges, Bitcoin is being viewed as Pakistan’s shot at monetary independence.
🧠 Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin Blueprint for Pakistan
Sources confirm that Michael Saylor has already held virtual consultations with the Finance Minister of Pakistan and PCC leadership. His early strategic recommendations include:

- Initiating Bitcoin reserves through government-backed acquisition and mining
- Developing Bitcoin education programs for universities and policymakers
- Implementing Bitcoin-friendly regulations to attract foreign capital
- Using excess renewable energy for Bitcoin mining to monetize surplus electricity
This aligns with Pakistan's recent move to allow energy allocation for domestic Bitcoin mining — converting energy into digital gold.
🌍 Pakistan Could Be a Top 10 Economy Within 20 Years
Michael Saylor, a long-time advocate of Bitcoin as sovereign money, reportedly told Pakistani officials:
“Bitcoin is not just an asset. It’s a lifeboat. It’s software for sovereignty.”
He believes that if Pakistan embraces Bitcoin early and decisively, it has the potential to become a top-10 economy by 2045.
With abundant energy resources, a booming youth population, and increasing internet penetration, Pakistan has the raw ingredients to leapfrog into the new monetary era.
⚡ The Dawn of a Bitcoin Nation
The world is watching. As old financial systems buckle under the weight of inflation, debt, and bureaucracy — bold countries are carving a new path forward.
Pakistan may soon stand among the few visionary nations betting on sound money and digital freedom.
“Those who embrace the Bitcoin effect now will lead the future. Those who wait, will pay the price.”
As a Pakistani — and a Bitcoiner — I’ve never been more optimistic about our future.
