Pakistan seeks to mine Bitcoin using surplus electricity to reduce financial strain on the energy sector.
The government of Pakistan is exploring Bitcoin (BTC) mining as a solution to utilize surplus electricity and alleviate financial pressure on the country’s energy sector. The Ministry of Energy in Pakistan has initiated discussions with key stakeholders to introduce a special electricity tariff for emerging industries including digital currency mining. This initiative aims to attract miners, boost economic activities, and establish a sustainable energy strategy. If implemented, Pakistan could become a new hub for Bitcoin mining in the region.
