The price of Bitcoin (BTC) was recorded at 23,389,164.68 in Pakistani Rupees (PKR) (approximately Rs 23.38 million) on Thursday, April 03, 2025, compared with the rate of PKR 23,236,293.41 at closing on April 02, 2025.

Crypto exchange Coinbase beat estimates for fourth-quarter profit, driven by higher trading volumes in Bitcoin and other digital tokens following the U.S. election.

Unprecedented interest in crypto, fueled by Donald Trump’s victory in the November presidential election, pushed BTC beyond $100,000 in the quarter as investors anticipated more crypto-friendly policies under the new administration.

It is pertinent to mention that in 2018, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) issued a notice warning commercial and general banks against using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Litecoin.

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is a virtual currency created from computer code. Unlike a real-world unit such as the US dollar or euro, it has no central bank and is not backed by any government.

Instead, BTC’s community of users controls and regulates it. Advocates say this makes it an efficient alternative to traditional currencies because it is not subject to the whims of a state that may devalue its money to boost exports, for example.

Just like other currencies, BTCs can be exchanged for goods and services — or other currencies — provided the other party is willing to accept them.

Where does it come from?

Bitcoin was launched in 2009 as a bit of encrypted software written by someone using the Japanese-sounding name Satoshi Nakamoto.

Last year, secretive Australian entrepreneur Craig Wright said he was the creator of Bitcoin, but some have raised doubts over his claim.

Hundreds of other digital currencies followed, but Bitcoin is by far the most popular, with an increasing number of merchants accepting digital currencies for payments.

Transactions happen when heavily encrypted codes are passed across a computer network. The network as a whole monitors and verifies the transaction in a process that is intended to ensure no single Bitcoin can be spent in more than one place simultaneously.

Users can “mine” Bitcoins — bring new ones into being — by having their computers run complicated and increasingly difficult processes.

However, the model is limited, and only 21 million units will ever be created.
