Michael Saylor says he's open to advising Pakistan on its national crypto strategy

Michael Saylor, executive chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), has said he is willing to advise Pakistan on the design of a national Bitcoin and crypto strategy, following meetings with senior Pakistani officials during the country’s ongoing policy pivot toward digital assets. According to reports, Saylor met Pakistan’s Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb and Minister of Blockchain and Crypto Affairs Bilal Bin Saqib, where they discussed how Bitcoin could be incorporated into Pakistan’s state reserves and how to structure broader crypto policy frameworks. Saqib has publicly urged Pakistan to look at Saylor’s corporate playbook—turning Strategy into a major Bitcoin-holding vehicle—as a model for how a state could strategically accumulate BTC. This outreach comes amid a rapid turn in Pakistan’s stance on crypto: the country only recently maintained tight restrictions and an effective ban on most crypto activity, but is now working on a formal Bitcoin reserve strategy and promoting crypto mining and blockchain adoption as part of a wider economic and technological agenda. Pakistani officials have also engaged other global industry figures, including former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ), to help shape its blockchain roadmap, signaling an attempt to align with established actors as it builds regulatory and technical infrastructure for digital assets. Saylor’s potential advisory role is significant because it connects Pakistan’s national policy planning with one of the most prominent advocates of Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset, potentially influencing how the country approaches reserve management, capital flows, and regulatory design in its emerging crypto framework.
