巴基斯坦推出比特幣採礦和AI數據中心國家計劃

為了領導數字創新的大膽行動，巴基斯坦啟動了國家計劃的第一階段，以為比特幣採礦和AI數據中心提供動力。

Pakistan is taking a significant step towards digital innovation with the first phase of a national plan to launch Bitcoin mining and AI data centres.

巴基斯坦正在邁向數字創新的重要一步，該計劃的第一階段啟動了比特幣採礦和AI數據中心。

This project will utilize 2,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity. The Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC), supported by the Ministry of Finance, is spearheading this initiative.

該項目將利用2,000兆瓦（MW）的電力。由財政部支持的巴基斯坦加密委員會（PCC）率先主動這一倡議。

The goal is to leverage surplus electricity, create high-tech employment opportunities, attract foreign investment, and generate substantial government revenue.

目的是利用剩餘電力，創造高科技就業機會，吸引外國投資並產生大量的政府收入。

Announcing this initiative, Finance Minister Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb described it as a pivotal moment.

財政部長參議員穆罕默德·奧蘭澤布（Muhammad Aurangzeb）宣布這一倡議將其描述為關鍵時刻。

This step will transform extra energy into valuable ideas, facilitate investment, and generate foreign income, ultimately unlocking new avenues of economic potential, the minister noted.

部長指出，這一步驟將把額外的能源轉變為有價值的思想，促進投資並產生外國收入，最終釋放經濟潛力的新途徑。

Highlighting Pakistan’s strategic position as a global data hub, the official said the country is ideally located at the crossroads of Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.

該官員強調了巴基斯坦作為全球數據中心的戰略地位，該國說，該國位於亞洲，歐洲和中東的十字路口。

Since the launch of the Pakistan Crypto Council, there has been an influx of interest from prominent Bitcoin miners and leading data firms worldwide. Several companies have already visited Pakistan for this purpose, and the arrival of more companies is anticipated in the coming weeks.

自從巴基斯坦加密委員會成立以來，全球著名的比特幣礦工和領先的數據公司都引起了人們的興趣。為此，幾家公司已經訪問了巴基斯坦，預計未來幾週將會有更多公司的到來。

The finance ministry explained that the project will convert unused power into a valuable digital asset. Bitcoin mining and AI data centres require constant, high levels of energy for their operations, making them perfect for utilizing surplus power.

財政部解釋說，該項目將將未使用的權力轉換為有價值的數字資產。比特幣挖掘和AI數據中心需要恆定的高水平運營能量，使其非常適合利用盈餘功率。

This project will redirect energy from plants that are not fully utilized, transforming a potential burden into a long-term source of income for the government.

該項目將從未充分利用的植物中重新定向能源，將潛在的負擔轉變為政府的長期收入來源。

Highlighting the potential of this initiative, Bilal Bin Saqib, CEO of the Pakistan Crypto Council, said that the country could become a leader in the fields of artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency in the South Asian region.

巴基斯坦加密委員會首席執行官比拉爾·本·薩基布（Bilal Bin Saqib）強調了這項倡議的潛力，他說，該國可以成為南亞地區人工智能和加密貨幣領域的領導者。

With a focus on proper oversight and transparency, Pakistan can effectively manage this project to maximize its benefits.

重點是適當的監督和透明度，巴基斯坦可以有效地管理該項目，以最大程度地提高其收益。

This project will create high-tech jobs for Pakistanis and generate major government revenue in US dollars from Bitcoin mining. As cryptocurrency regulations develop, the possibility of Pakistan holding Bitcoin in a national wallet may also arise, marking a substantial shift in strategy.

該項目將為巴基斯坦人創造高科技就業機會，並從比特幣採礦中以美元收入產生大量的政府收入。隨著加密貨幣法規的發展，巴基斯坦在國家錢包中持有比特幣的可能性也可能出現，這標誌著戰略的實質轉變。

Currently, Pakistan will be selling its power in Pakistani Rupees (PKR), but in the future, there will be an addition of revenue in US Dollars (USD) from Bitcoin.

目前，巴基斯坦將在巴基斯坦盧比（PKR）出售其電力，但將來，比特幣將增加美元（美元）的收入。

Pakistan offers a combination of cheap and stable energy, as well as available land for setting up large-scale data centres.

巴基斯坦提供了廉價和穩定的能源以及用於建立大規模數據中心的可用土地。

Globally, the demand for AI data centres has surged to over 100GW, while the current level of supply stands at approximately 15GW.

在全球範圍內，對AI數據中心的需求已飆升至100GW，而目前的供應水平約為15GW。

This significant gap presents Pakistan with a unique opportunity to take a leading role with its existing energy capacity and the rapidly evolving legal framework for Web3.

這一重大差距為巴基斯坦提供了一個獨特的機會，可以將其現有能源容量和迅速發展的Web3的法律框架發揮領導作用。
