🇵🇰 Pakistan angered the IMF over bitcoin and AI
The advisor to the country's prime minister announced the creation of a national reserve in digital gold and the allocation of 2 GW of energy for BTC mining and the operation of data centers for artificial intelligence.
🌐 These statements were made at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas and came as a surprise to the International Monetary Fund. The IMF is demanding explanations — especially in the context of chronic electricity shortages in the country and ongoing financing negotiations.
⚡ Pakistani authorities hope that the integration of digital assets will attract investments and accelerate technological development. Plans include the launch of the Digital Assets Administration (PDAA), which will regulate crypto exchanges, DeFi, and tokenization.
💥 But for now, everything could end with increased pressure from the IMF — without the fund's approval, Pakistan could be cut off from vital assistance.
