BlockBeats News, May 31st. According to Cointelegraph, the Pakistani government plans to reserve 2,000 megawatts of electricity for Bitcoin mining and AI data centers, equivalent to the annual capacity of 2 large power plants. The IMF (International Monetary Fund) has requested the Pakistani Ministry of Finance to explain the legality of crypto mining and electricity allocation policy without prior consultation, which may complicate the ongoing $3 billion loan program negotiations for Pakistan.
On May 21st, the Pakistani Ministry of Finance approved the establishment of the Pakistan Digital Assets Authority (PDAA), which aims to regulate exchanges, stablecoins, and DeFi platforms based on FATF standards. Prime Minister's crypto advisor Bilal bin Saqib made a high-profile announcement at the Bitcoin 2025 conference last week to establish a national Bitcoin strategic reserve. Pakistan had already established a National Crypto Council in February 2025 and appointed Binance co-founder CZ as an advisor in April.
