Pakistan has allocated 2,000 megawatts of surplus electricity for Bitcoin mining and artificial intelligence centers as part of a digital transformation initiative led by the Pakistan Crypto Council and Ministry of Finance.

The government plans to attract foreign investment and create high-tech jobs by offering tax incentives and duty exemptions for AI and crypto mining operations.

A dedicated regulatory body, the Pakistan Digital Assets Authority, has been established to oversee blockchain financial infrastructure and tokenization of national assets.

Pakistan ranks ninth globally in crypto adoption, with over 27 million crypto users projected by 2025, indicating rapid growth in its digital asset market.
