Pakistan’s crypto chief makes the case for a national Bitcoin reserve

Pakistan’s crypto chief advocated establishing a national Bitcoin reserve to diversify foreign-exchange holdings and hedge against rupee devaluation and inflation. He framed BTC as a tool to capture remittances and reduce reliance on traditional reserves while calling for regulatory clarity and prudent risk management. If pursued, state-level adoption would likely create incremental demand and lend legitimacy to Bitcoin in emerging markets, but would also expose sovereign balance sheets to BTC’s volatility and require strengthened oversight.
