The International Monetary Fund has declined to fully endorse Pakistan's proposal for a subsidized electricity tariff aimed at powering Bitcoin<\/a> mining operations, local media outlet Profit<\/a> reported on July 3.<\/p>\n

According to the report, Fakhray Alam Irfan, the Chairman of Pakistan's Senate Standing Committee on Power, revealed that the IMF approved only a three-month relief period, down from the proposed six months, citing risks of market distortion and pressure on the country's already strained energy sector.<\/p>\n

The partial rejection reflects the IMF's broader skepticism toward national-level crypto adoption. Similar warnings have been issued to other countries, including El Salvador, where the IMF has cautioned against direct government involvement in Bitcoin mining and accumulation.<\/p>\n

Notably, the global financial regulator has also questioned Pakistan's energy plans<\/a>, especially those tied to emerging sectors like Bitcoin mining and AI infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The government's plan includes repurposing three underutilized coal plants<\/a> to power crypto mining operations and data centers, an approach that has raised questions about national energy priorities and potential impacts on tariffs.<\/p>\n

Pakistan deepens its Bitcoin strategy<\/h2>\n

Despite the IMF's reservations, Pakistan appears to be doubling down on its crypto push.<\/p>\n

The authorities have signaled a broader commitment to digital assets, framing Bitcoin as a sovereign-grade financial tool that could help strengthen financial decentralization and innovation in the Global South.<\/p>\n

Pakistan is building a high-profile advisory group for its newly formed Crypto Council as part of this strategy. The team includes MicroStrategy's Michael Saylor<\/a>, Binance<\/a> founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao<\/a>, and World Liberty Financial advisor Bin Saqib. These appointments reflect Pakistan's ambition to shape global crypto discourse and policy.<\/p>\n

In a related development, World Liberty Financial, the DeFi project with ties to US President Donald Trump and his family, signed a memorandum of understanding with the Pakistani Crypto Council (PCC) in late June.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
