Crypto News: Pakistan Enters New Crypto Era with U.S. Support for Bitcoin Strategy

6/16/2025, 7:25:40 AM
Pakistan has announced the launch of a Bitcoin strategic reserve plan and is actively deploying national infrastructure to release 2,000 megawatts of surplus electricity to support crypto mining and AI data processing. Additionally, Pakistan has established the Digital Asset Management Agency (PDAA) to comprehensively oversee the operation of the crypto ecosystem.

Pakistan and the United States join hands to expand the Bitcoin blueprint.

As the global digital economy rises, Pakistan is accelerating its emergence as a new player in the field of crypto assets. According to a report by 24NewsHD, the country’s Minister of State for Digital Assets and Blockchain, Bilal Bin Saqib, recently met at the White House with Robert ‘Bo’ Hines, the Executive Director of the Digital Assets Council appointed by Trump. The two sides engaged in dialogue regarding cooperation on cryptocurrencies and future development plans, symbolizing a new chapter in Pakistan-U.S. digital cooperation.

The most notable aspect of this exchange is undoubtedly Pakistan’s announcement to launch a Bitcoin strategic reserve plan, showcasing the country’s high recognition of the long-term value of digital assets. Bilal emphasized that Pakistan is actively deploying national infrastructure to unlock the potential of crypto mining and AI data processing, and releasing 2,000 megawatts of excess electricity to support related operations. Furthermore, the Pakistani government is also rapidly advancing the establishment of regulatory mechanisms, forming the Pakistan Digital Assets Authority (PDAA) to comprehensively supervise the operations of trading platforms, wallets, DeFi applications, etc., laying a foundation for a regulatory and innovative coexistence in the crypto ecosystem. Although the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has expressed concerns about the investment of electricity resources in mining, this has not shaken Pakistan’s determination to promote economic digitization. From policies to infrastructure, Pakistan is quickly embracing Bitcoin, aiming to secure a strategic position in the global Web3 landscape.

Summary

Pakistan’s recent actions are not just a single country’s policy adjustment, but a signal of crypto-geopolitics. As emerging markets seek technological and energy transformation, cryptocurrencies are becoming a new economic weapon. With the warming of US-Pakistan cooperation, the Bitcoin strategic reserve plan may become a barometer for global policy shifts.
