Bilal Bin Saqib, Minister of State for Crypto & Blockchain and CEO of the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC), on Wednesday, met with Bo Hines, Executive Director of US President Trump’s Council on Digital Assets, at the White House.
The high-profile meeting focused on building a strategic crypto alliance between the two nations.
Hosted only a week after Pakistan announced its inaugural Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) at the Bitcoin 2025 Conference in Las Vegas, the meeting marked a new era of collaboration in digital asset innovation.
During the meeting, the two leaders examined how Pakistan and the United States may cooperate on policy making, regulatory certainty, and burgeoning financial technologies such as Bitcoin and blockchain.

“I envision Pakistan to be a leader in the global south for digital assets,” said Saqib. “From launching our SBR to unlocking national infrastructure for crypto mining and AI data zones, we are building a real framework for economic modernization.”
Bo Hines, appointed by President Trump in January 2025, leads national policy on crypto and blockchain at the White House alongside Council Chair David Sacks. According to an official statement, both Saqib and Hines emphasized their shared commitment to regulatory coherence, fostering innovation, and empowering youth through blockchain-based ecosystems.

As part of its vision for the future, Pakistan will dedicate 2,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity to Bitcoin mining and AI-based data centers, converting excess power into digital prosperity, employment opportunities, and high-technology infrastructure.
