He was born in Elbasan, today's Albania in a landowners family, with around 2100 hectares of land in Elbasan and Lushnje areas. His father was Jusuf Bey Biçaku, and his mother was Hedije Zogolli, aunt of Ahmet Zogolli, known as the future Albanian King Zog I. He finished high school in Istanbul. He was one of the organizers of the Congress of Elbasan in 1909, one of the sponsors, and was elected its chairman. Dervish Bey Biçaku was one of the financiers of the Normal School of Elbasan. In 1912, he was a delegate of Peqin in the Assembly of Vlorë, which declared the independence of the four Albanian vilayets from the Ottoman Empire. He was appointed by the future prime-minister Ismail Qemali as future Minister of Finance, but unexpectedly he expressed disagreement with Qemali's line of government and jumped to Esat Pashë Toptani's side.[1]
At the end of WWII, right before the LANC forces took control in Albania, he settled in Lebanon, where he died in 1952.[1]
