Pakistan Earmarks 2,000 MW for Bitcoin Mining and AI Data Centers

Pakistan’s Finance Ministry said on Sunday that it has earmarked 2,000 megawatts of electricity in the first phase of a national program designed to power Bitcoin mining operations and artificial-intelligence data centers. The initiative will draw on surplus or underutilized generation capacity and is intended to spur large-scale digital infrastructure development.

The measure forms part of Islamabad’s wider plan to legalize cryptocurrency activity and attract foreign investment. Authorities are preparing tax incentives and duty exemptions for companies willing to set up mining farms and data facilities in the country, positioning Pakistan among a small group of nations looking to leverage state-backed energy resources to expand into blockchain and AI technologies.
