The IMF delegation is expected to hold a separate virtual session with Pakistan\u2019s Finance Ministry to specifically discuss the electricity allocation.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Pakistan announced that it will <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/pakistan-to-allocate-2000-mw-for-bitcoin-mining-and-ai-data-centers\/\">allocate<\/a> 2,000 megawatts of power towards the operation of Bitcoin mines and artificial intelligence (AI) data centres.<\/p>\n<p>The IMF, which has repeatedly warned countries against the risks of governments buying Bitcoin, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imf.org\/en\/News\/Articles\/2025\/05\/09\/pr-25137-pakistan-imf-completes-1st-rev-of-eff-arrang-and-approves-req-for-arrang-under-rsf#:~:text=In%20addition%2C%20the%20IMF%20Executive,resilience%20and%20enable%20sustainable%20growth.\">sanctioned<\/a> a $2.4 billion loan for Pakistan earlier this month, and is currently in talks with the country about its budgetary plans.<\/p>\n<p>According to Finance Ministry sources, Pakistan did not loop in the IMF in its plans for power allocation to Bitcoin mining. Citing sources familiar with the matter, however, the local news report stated that the IMF has reiterated its demand that countries receiving aid from the organization under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) consult on all policy changes.<\/p>\n<p>An official involved in the budget negotiations with the IMF told local news outlet Samaa:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThere is a fear of further tough talks from the IMF on this initiative [of allocating electricity to Bitcoin mining]. The economic team is already facing stiff questions, and this move has only added to the complexities of the ongoing talks.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Pakistan plans to repurpose three underutilized coal power plants to provide electricity to Bitcoin mines and AI data centers. However, the IMF is concerned about how the initiative will impact electricity tariffs and distribution.<\/p>\n<p>In April, Pakistan\u2019s National Electric Power Regulatory Authority announced cuts to electricity prices for a range of consumers. The cuts, however, followed an increase in base power tariffs announced last year.<\/p>\n<h2>Pakistan is taking rapid strides to embrace crypto<\/h2>\n<p>Over the past few months, Pakistan has rapidly changed its stance on cryptocurrencies, announcing several plans and initiatives to adopt crypto assets and regulate them.<\/p>\n<p>In March, the country <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/pakistan-forms-new-crypto-council-to-regulate-blockchain-and-digital-assets\/\">established<\/a> the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) to regulate crypto assets, boost their adoption, and integrate them into Pakistan\u2019s financial landscape. In early April, Pakistan <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/pakistan-taps-binance-co-founder-changpeng-zhao-to-steer-its-journey-into-digital-finance-innovation\/\">appointed<\/a> former <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/binance\/\">Binance<\/a> CEO <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/people\/changpeng-zhao\/\">Changpeng Zhao (CZ)<\/a> as strategic advisor to the council.<\/p>\n<p>Late last month, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/world-liberty-financial\/\">World Liberty Financial<\/a>, a decentralized finance project with close ties to President <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/people\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> and his sons, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with PCC.<\/p>\n<p>On May 21, following the recommendation of the PCC, the government established the Pakistan Digital Assets Authority (PDAA)\u2014an event attended by U.S. Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/people\/jd-vance\/\">JD Vance<\/a> as well as Trump\u2019s sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr.<\/p>\n<p>The PDAA would serve as a regulatory watchdog responsible for overseeing the licensing of digital asset service providers, ensuring compliance with the Financial Action Task Force\u2019s (FATF) regulations, and promoting innovation.<\/p>\n<p>At the Bitcoin 2025 conference on Thursday, Bilal bin Saqib, crypto adviser to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, unveiled the country\u2019s first strategic Bitcoin reserve, drawing the IMF\u2019s scrutiny.
