Pakistan’s Minister of State for Crypto and Blockchain, Bilal Bin Saqib, held an official meeting with Robert Hines, Executive Director of the US President’s Digital Assets Council during a recent visit to the White House.
The meeting focused on strengthening bilateral cooperation in the digital asset sector between Pakistan and the United States.
According to a report by 24NewsHD TV, the discussions covered strategic topics including Bitcoin (BTC) which is currently at $104,623, potential future partnerships and the direction of decentralized finance.
Among the main agenda items was the newly announced launch of Pakistan’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, positioning Pakistan as a global leader in digital assets.
He also stressed that the country is building a comprehensive framework for the use of modern technologies in the economy, including the opening of a national infrastructure for crypto mining and the development of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based data zone.
Robert Hines, who was appointed by Trump earlier this year, leads US policy on digital assets and plays a key role alongside the Council’s Chairman, David Sacks.
The Trump administration has previously shown a high commitment to making the United States a major global power in the digital asset space.
