In a bold demonstration of Pakistan\u2019s commitment to digital assets and economic innovation, Minister for Finance and Revenue Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb chaired a high-level meeting.
\nThe meeting was attended by Minister of State for Crypto and Blockchain Bilal Bin Saqib and Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) \u2014 the world\u2019s largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, said a press release issued by the Ministry of Finance on Sunday.
\nThe discussion focused on how Bitcoin can serve as a tool for sovereign reserves, monetary resilience, and driving Pakistan\u2019s long-term digital economic transformation.
\nAddressing the meeting Minister for Finance and Revenue Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb said that Pakistan aspires to lead the Global South in the development and adoption of digital assets, setting a benchmark for innovation, regulation, and inclusive growth in the digital economy.
\nSpeaking on the occasion Minister of State for Crypto and Blockchain Bilal Bin Saqib said that Pakistan has taken a historic step forward for strengthening the digital economy.
\n\u201cMichael Saylor\u2019s insights and leadership have shaped how the world views Bitcoin as a sovereign-grade asset. In 5 years Mr Saylor transformed a mid-sized software firm into a $100+ billion company, purely through strategic vision, bold conviction, and disciplined execution. If private individuals can build that in the U.S.\u2014why can\u2019t Pakistan, as a nation, do the same? We have the talent, the story, and the energy\u201d, he added.
\nMeanwhile during the meeting, Saylor praised Pakistan\u2019s efforts to take a forward-looking, innovation-friendly stance in the global digital economy and welcomed the opportunity to advise and support ongoing developments.
\n\u201cPakistan has many brilliant people. It also has commitment and clarity needed by businesses globally.\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
