Pakistan Bets Big on Bitcoin: Government Announces National Crypto Reserve Plan
In a move that’s either visionary or desperate—depending on which crypto bro you ask—Pakistan’s newly appointed Crypto Minister drops a bombshell: the nation is building a sovereign Bitcoin treasury.
Why now? With global adoption accelerating and institutional players piling in, Pakistan’s play could position it as an unlikely leader in the digital gold rush. Or it might just be another government chasing the hype cycle.
The real kicker? No mention of how they’ll acquire the BTC. Mining? Buying the dip? Taxpayer-funded OTC purchases? Classic bureaucratic ambiguity meets crypto volatility—what could go wrong?
One thing’s certain: Wall Street bankers just felt a disturbance in the Force. Nothing terrifies legacy finance quite like a developing nation bypassing their precious SWIFT system.
