Saylorโs Visit: A Vote of Confidence and a Strategic Signal
When Michael Saylor met Pakistanโs Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb and Minister for Blockchain and Crypto Bilal Bin Saqib, it wasnโt a casual meet-and-greet. It was a calculated endorsement.

Saylor praised Pakistanโs intellectual capital and openness to innovation, expressing willingness to act as an adviser. His message was clear: credibility, leadership, and clarity can attract global capital.
Saylorโs Strategy is the largest corporate holder of BTC, owning over 582,000 BTC, currently worth more than $61 billion.
Notably, Saylor emphasized trust. โMarkets gave me billions because they trust us,โ he said, implying that Pakistan could benefit similarly if it signals consistency and leadership.
He also tied Bitcoin to national strength, suggesting that a government willing to adopt it could attract international funds and stature.
The Militaryโs Role and the US Connection
Pakistanโs crypto strategy isnโt just a civilian play. The countryโs one of the most powerful figures, Army Chief General Asim Munir, is reportedly visiting the US on an invitation believed to have come from the Trump administration.
His trip, involving expected stops at the Pentagon, State Department, and US Central Command, points to serious strategic deliberation. Analysts believe crypto is one of the four key topics Munir will address, along with others.
A military general discussing Bitcoin at such high diplomatic levels suggests that crypto is no longer just a financial instrument. Itโs becoming a tool of international relations, security, and resource diplomacy.
Bitcoin as a Reserve and Political Tool
In a recent interview, Saylor said that the days of โcrypto winterโ are over and sees BTC heading to $1 million. This aligns with Pakistanโs own plans to create a national Bitcoin reserve, revealed recently by Bilal Bin Saqib in the US at Bitcoin Vegas 2025.
The endorsement by Zach Witkoff, the co-founder of the Trump-linked World Liberty Financial, and his letter of intent with the Pakistan Crypto Council further signal growing American interest in Pakistanโs digital finance future.
Pakistanโs regulatory infrastructure is also catching up. The recent formation of a national crypto authority aims to centralize oversight and ensure long-term stability.
If the country truly follows through on holding Bitcoin in state reserves, it could become one of the first nations to treat it not just as an asset, but as a strategic pillar of sovereignty and security.
