In a speech with an international audience that included US Vice President JD Vance, Eric Trump and Donald Trump JR, ​​he said the country awards 2,000 megawatt excess energy in phase 1 to support Bitcoin mining and artificial intelligence (AI) data centers.

“Tomorrow Pakistan is being built today by his youth and led by a new generation of tech states,” Saqib said, adding that the move is following the example of the US government of establishing a Bitcoin strategic reserve and reflecting a broader shift against pro-crypto policy under the Donald Trump administration.

In February 2025, Pakistan established a national crypto council to prepare a legislative framework and attract foreign crypto investments.
