Saylor highlighted the critical role of trust and leadership in attracting global capital, citing his own journey of turning a $400 million investment into a $40 billion market backed position through Bitcoin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, I will stay in touch with Bilal,\u201d he said. \u201cPakistan has many brilliant people and a lot of people to do business with you. My company had less than $400 million to invest, but the markets gave me $40 billion because they trust us. And so the most important thing is leadership, intellectual leadership and that they trust you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saylor further emphasized that trust and clarity of vision are what drive global capital flows.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the world trusts you and they hear your words, and you speak particularly, the capital and the capability will flow to Pakistan,\u201d said Saylor. \u201cIt\u2019s there, it wants to find a home and that\u2019s what happened with our company. Our success is because we were clear and committed. And once the market decides who the leader is. They get behind the leader and they send their money to you. And I think they\u2019d do it to Pakistan too. You have the most important thing, which is you have a commitment and a will and clarity here. So, I look forward to working with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new stance is a stark change for Pakistan, which had previously banned Bitcoin trading in 2018. On March 20, Bilal Bin Saqib told<\/a> Bloomberg that Pakistan was planning to legalize Bitcoin and try to implement a regulatory framework to attract investors.<\/p>\n

\u201cPakistan is done sitting on the sidelines,\u201d said Saqib. \u201cWe want to attract international investment because Pakistan is a low-cost, high-growth market with 60% of the population under 30\u2026 Trump is making crypto a national priority, and every country, including Pakistan, will have to follow suit.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the 2025 Bitcoin Conference<\/a> in Las Vegas, Saqib announced that Pakistan was creating a strategic Bitcoin reserve.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, I will announce that the Pakistan government is setting up their own government led Bitcoin strategic reserve\u2026 and this wallet, the national Bitcoin wallet,\u201d said Saqib. \u201cIt\u2019s not for speculation or hype. We will be holding this Bitcoin and we will never ever sell them.\u201d<\/p>\n
