Pakistan Betting on Bitcoin Mining to Solve Its Power Problem

Story Highlights

  • Pakistan plans to use extra electricity for bitcoin mining as a way to reduce wasted energy.

  • Unlike other countries, Pakistan wants to dedicate surplus power to crypto mining.

  • Pakistan might create a regulatory framework to support Bitcoin mining legally.

Pakistan might be on the verge of a surprising shift—turning to Bitcoin mining to solve its electricity challenges. With surplus power weighing heavily on its economy, the government is exploring ways to bring in global Bitcoin miners, turning unused energy into profits rather than waste. Could this be the beginning of a digital revolution in Pakistan?

Government Eyes Bitcoin Mining

The Ministry of Energy is actively considering a special electricity tariff for industries like Bitcoin mining, hoping to attract investors without relying on government subsidies.

The idea is simple—miners need cheap electricity, and Pakistan has a surplus. By bridging this gap, the country could transform a long-standing power sector problem into an economic opportunity.

This idea gained momentum during a key meeting between Power Minister Awais Leghari and Bilal Bin Saqib, the CEO of the newly formed Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC). The discussion revolved around how Pakistan could position itself as a global hub for cryptocurrency mining.

This was followed by an even bigger meeting, chaired by Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb. Attended by top officials, including the State Bank Governor and regulators, the gathering focused on whether Pakistan should embrace crypto mining as part of its economic strategy.

How Pakistan Stands Out

Reports suggest that Bitcoin miners spend up to 70% of their earnings on electricity. Many countries have struggled with managing this demand. China, for example, banned crypto mining due to environmental concerns, while Kazakhstan initially embraced it before imposing higher taxes.

Iran, on the other hand, offered discounted rates but often suspended mining during peak electricity demand.

Pakistan, however, is taking a different approach. Instead of burdening the national grid, the country aims to create a stable and competitive energy supply dedicated to crypto mining. This strategic move could make Pakistan a global hub for blockchain-based data centers.

If Pakistan successfully welcomes mining companies, it could create a new revenue stream while utilizing excess power more efficiently.

Pakistan May Make New Crypto Rules

During the meeting, Bilal Bin Saqib shared a plan to use Pakistan’s extra energy for Bitcoin mining while also making clear rules for the industry. He said the country should create a policy that fits its needs and benefits its people.

While the plan holds great promise, success depends on execution. Regulatory clarity, compliance with global financial laws, and ensuring a stable power supply will be critical.
