World’s largest Bitcoin holder’s Executive Chairman praises Pakistan’s push for digital economy and Bitcoin adoption

Michael Saylor, the American entrepreneur and Executive Chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), the world’s largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, commended Pakistan’s proactive stance in embracing digital assets and innovation. 

He welcomed the opportunity to advise and support the country’s ongoing efforts to establish a robust digital economy, according to a press release from the Ministry of Finance.

In a demonstration of Pakistan’s commitment to economic innovation, Minister for Finance and Revenue Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb chaired a high-level meeting that also included Minister of State for Crypto and Blockchain Bilal Bin Saqib and Saylor. The meeting focused on the role Bitcoin can play in enhancing sovereign reserves, fostering monetary resilience, and supporting Pakistan’s long-term digital economic transformation.

Addressing 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.

Saylor, in his remarks, praised Pakistan’s forward-looking approach and its commitment to becoming an innovation-friendly player in the global digital economy. He also expressed his willingness to offer guidance and support to the country’s initiatives. 

“Pakistan has many brilliant people, and it has the commitment and clarity needed by businesses globally,” he said. 

He emphasised that Bitcoin is the strongest asset for long-term national resilience, adding that emerging markets like Pakistan have a unique opportunity to leapfrog into the future of finance.

This strategic dialogue is part of Pakistan’s ongoing efforts to build a comprehensive digital assets policy framework, attract global institutional interest, and position itself as a leading Web3 and Bitcoin-ready market.

Saylor, whose advocacy has influenced global conversations on monetary strategy, is recognised for his role in Bitcoin’s institutional adoption. Under his leadership, Strategy transitioned from a traditional enterprise software firm to the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin globally. Since initiating its Bitcoin strategy in 2020, the company has accumulated around 582,000 BTC, valued at over $62 billion as of June 2025. This strategy has helped increase the company’s market capitalization from $1.2 billion to over $105 billion, making it one of the top-performing tech stocks of the decade.

Minister of State for Crypto and Blockchain Bilal Bin Saqib highlighted Pakistan’s historic step toward strengthening its digital economy, pointing to Saylor’s transformative impact on both the global view of Bitcoin as a sovereign-grade asset and his success in scaling Strategy into a $100 billion company. 

“If private individuals can achieve that in the U.S., why can’t Pakistan, as a nation, do the same? We have the talent, the story, and the energy,” he added.
