🇵🇰 Pakistan Launches Strategic Bitcoin Reserve + 2,000 MW Power Move
Pakistan has just unveiled its first government-led Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, delivered at Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas by Bilal Bin Saqib, CEO of the Pakistan Crypto Council and Special Assistant to the PM on Blockchain & Crypto .
Simultaneously, the government allocated 2,000 MW of surplus electricity—primarily from coal and solar plants—to fund Bitcoin mining and AI data centres. The aim: turn idle power into foreign investment and high‑tech jobs .
➡️ Pakistan commits to holding, not selling, any Bitcoin reserves.
⚠️ But the IMF has raised concerns over grid stability, tariffs, and loan implications .
Why this matters:
It marks Pakistan’s long-term embrace of crypto and blockchain.
Turning surplus energy into digital infra
structure is a smart resource strategy.
However, economic and regulatory risks remain.
