Pakistan is experiencing a surge in cryptocurrency interest, signaling a potential shift towards utilizing its excess energy resources for Bitcoin mining. This initiative has been fueled by recent political changes and the establishment of a dedicated crypto council. The country plans to leverage this surplus power to support both Bitcoin mining operations and AI data centers. 2025 data from Reuters suggests Pakistan is poised to generate an impressive 192.64 TWh in energy, with household consumption being a key driver. Notably, the Pakistan Crypto Council head, Bilal bin Saqib, has confirmed their intention to become involved in Bitcoin mining. The government and officials are actively collaborating with leading Bitcoin mining companies to facilitate their operations within the nation. This move aligns with Pakistan’s ongoing efforts to address energy wastage concerns, which have resulted in significant losses. The cryptocurrency market in Pakistan has witnessed steady growth over recent years, projected to reach 27.01 million by year-end 2025. This surge in adoption is evident through the exposure of around 16 million to 20 million individuals directly or indirectly engaged with digital assets. Additionally, the average user revenue in Pakistan is anticipated to rise to $59.9 in 2025 before crossing $100 by 2027. Prominent companies like Pursa, Binance, OKX, Cubix, Nowpayments, and Redot Pay are driving the market’s growth within Pakistan. According to CoinMarketCap data, Bitcoin remains the most adopted asset with a significant share of trading volume in Pakistan. The overall cryptocurrency market cap has witnessed a surge of 5.48%, with an increase in trading volume. Intraday price trends show an upward movement in Bitcoin, which is currently trading at $81,696 after experiencing a 7.22% increase.
