The American Bitcoin prominent and founder of Strategy, Michael Saylor, continues to attract attention worldwide with his non-reversing confidence in Bitcoin. While geopolitical tensions between Israel and Iran put the world markets on, hint Saylor on a new Bitcoin purchase as soon as the traditional markets open on Monday. At the same time, Pakistan is approaching Saylor to use his expertise for a national crypto strategy.

This happens in a period in which tensions in the Middle East are high. Israel performed air strikes on Tehran on Thursday evening, which would normally lead to hefty shocks in financial markets. Yet the Bitcoin rate only fell by 3% and has since recovered to slightly above $ 107,000.

The persistent interest in Bitcoin is also visible in the figures of Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), which reported net instreams five days in a row. According to data from Farside Investors, more than $ 1.3 billion in capital in BTC ETFs was invested this week. The market does not seem to be hiding for geopolitical threat. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index is currently 60 – an indication of “greed” among investors and a signal from Bullish sentiment on the market.
Despite this resilience, analyst Nic Puckrin warned that a possible closure of the street of Hormuz can negatively influence the prices of risky assets, including Bitcoin. This Zeestraat is responsible for around 20% of worldwide oil transport, and rising energy prices could cause economic pressure worldwide.
Yet Saylor does not seem to be put off. His company Strategy, formerly Micro Strategy, now owns 582,000 BTC, a portfolio that is estimated to be worth more than $ 61 billion. With more than 50% unrealized profit-good for more than $ 20 billion in Fiat terms-the strategy of aggressive Bitcoin purchases remains for the time being.
Saylor as a Pakistan adviser
In addition to his investment strategy, Saylor also plays an increasingly important role at geopolitric level. In Pakistan he spoke with Minister of Finance Muhammad Aurangzeb and Staatsminister for Blockchain Bilal bin Saqib. During the meeting they discussed the possibilities to include Bitcoin in the national reserves of Pakistan and the development of policy on digital assets.
Saylor indicated that he was willing to advise Pakistan on his ‘crypto pivot’ and praised the country for its talented population and business potential. “The most important thing is intellectual leadership,” he said. “If the world trusts you, the capital follows automatically.”
Pakistan has taken major steps towards crypto adoption in recent months. For example, the Pakistan Crypto Council was founded in March and previously presented it a draft legislation for digital assets. The government agreed to an accelerated approval procedure. SAQIB, also CEO of the Crypto Council, stated that Pakistan has the ambition to act as a leading force within Global South in the field of digital assets.
Crypto as geopolitics instrument
The meeting with Saylor is seen in Pakistan as a milestone in the development of a national crypto policy. According to Saqib, the example of Strategy as a bitcoing -controlled organization can also be followed by countries: “If private individuals in the US can build this up, why would Pakistan be able to do that as a nation?”
Pakistan strives to position himself as a “web3 and bitcoin-ready” emerging market. In this light, the involvement of an internationally recognized figure such as Saylor is more than symbolic; It can strengthen the trust of foreign investors and facilitate access to capital markets.
Bitcoin continues to gain worldwide trust
The parallel developments-on the one hand institutional purchases through strategy and on the other hand state level initiatives in Pakistan-underline how Bitcoin is increasingly seen as strategic property, even in times of conflict and uncertainty. Where traditional markets react nervously to geopolitical threats, the Bitcoin course remains remarkably stable. And while countries like Pakistan the potential of crypto Recognizing, Michael Saylor remains the global figurehead of trust in digital scarcity.
