巴基斯坦将2,000兆瓦的电力分配给比特币采矿和AI数据中心

政府已宣布将2,000兆瓦（MW）的电力分配给比特币采矿和AI数据中心 - 标记了变革性国家战略的第一阶段

The government has allocated 2,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity to fuel Bitcoin mining and AI data centers, kicking off the first phase of a national strategy.

政府已分配了2,000兆瓦（MW）的电力，以燃烧比特币采矿和AI数据中心，从而开始了国家战略的第一阶段。

The initiative, part of a broader plan to monetize surplus energy, attract foreign investment, and propel the country into the forefront of the digital revolution, is being spearheaded by the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) under the Ministry of Finance.

该倡议是一项更广泛的计划的一部分，以使盈余能源获利，吸引外国投资并推动该国进入数字革命的最前沿，这是由金融部的巴基斯坦加密委员会（PCC）率领的。

A statement from the Finance Division elaborated on the essence of this initiative, highlighting the conversion of Pakistan’s underutilized power capacity into a high-value asset.

财务部门的一份声明阐述了这项倡议的本质，强调了巴基斯坦未充分利用的电力能力转换为高价值资产。

This follows a decree from President Arif Alvi officially incorporating the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) into the Ministry of Finance earlier this year.

这是由总统阿里夫·阿尔维（Arif Alvi）正式将巴基斯坦加密委员会（PCC）纳入财政部的法令。

The move comes as part of a broader plan to monetize surplus energy, attract foreign investment, and propel the country into the forefront of the digital revolution.

此举是作为一项更广泛的计划的一部分，该计划将盈余能源获利，吸引外国投资并推动该国进入数字革命的最前沿。

A statement from the Finance Division said the initiative is being led by the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) under the Ministry of Finance.

财务部门的一份声明说，该倡议由金融部的巴基斯坦加密委员会（PCC）领导。

“This strategic allocation marks a pivotal moment in Pakistan’s digital transformation journey, unlocking economic potential by turning excess energy into innovation, investment, and international revenue,” said Finance Minister Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb.

财政部长参议员穆罕默德·奥兰奇布（Muhammad Aurangzeb）表示：“这种战略分配标志着巴基斯坦数字化转型之旅的关键时刻，通过将过量的能源变成创新，投资和国际收入来释放经济潜力。”

Pakistan is uniquely positioned—both geographically and economically—to become a global hub for data centers, the statement added.

声明补充说，巴基斯坦在地理和经济上都处于独特的位置，以成为数据中心的全球枢纽。

The country’s geographic advantage as a digital bridge between Asia, Europe, and the Middle East has already sparked interest among international Bitcoin miners and AI firms.

该国作为亚洲，欧洲和中东之间数字桥梁的地理优势已经引起了国际比特币矿工和AI公司的兴趣。

“Since the inception of the Pakistan Crypto Council, there has been tremendous interest from global Bitcoin miners and data infrastructure companies,” the press release said, noting that major players are expected to visit Pakistan in the coming weeks.

新闻稿说：“自巴基斯坦加密委员会成立以来，全球比特币矿工和数据基础设施公司一直引起人们的极大兴趣。”

With AI and Bitcoin mining operations requiring massive, consistent power, Pakistan’s surplus electricity—particularly from underutilized plants—is being repurposed into a lucrative opportunity.

随着AI和比特币采矿作业需要大量，一致的电力，巴基斯坦的剩余电力（尤其是来自未充分利用的植物）被重新定义为有利可图的机会。

Bilal Bin Saqib, CEO of the Pakistan Crypto Council, emphasized, “This energy-backed digital transformation not only unlocks high-value investment but enables the government to generate foreign exchange in USD through Bitcoin mining.”

巴基斯坦加密委员会首席执行官Bilal Bin Saqib强调：“这种能源支持的数字化转型不仅可以释放高价值投资，而且使政府能够通过比特币采矿来在美元内产生外汇。”

He added that Pakistan could eventually accumulate Bitcoin in a national wallet, shifting from selling power in PKR to holding digital assets for long-term economic stability.

他补充说，巴基斯坦最终可以在国家钱包中积累比特币，从PKR的销售权转变为持有数字资产以实现长期经济稳定。

Pakistan’s digital ambitions are also being fueled by the recent landing of the 45,000-kilometer Africa-2 submarine internet cable, which will enhance bandwidth and redundancy—a critical factor for AI data centers.

最近45,000公里的非洲2海底互联网电缆的降落也将增强巴基斯坦的数字野心，这将增强带宽和冗余，这是AI数据中心的关键因素。

The country’s 250 million population, including 40 million crypto users, further strengthens its potential as a regional tech hub.

该国的2.5亿人口，包括4000万加密使用者，进一步增强了其作为区域技术中心的潜力。

This announcement marks only the first phase of a broader, multi-stage digital infrastructure rollout.

该公告仅标志着更广泛的多阶段数字基础设施推出的第一阶段。

Future developments will include renewable energy-powered facilities—leveraging Pakistan’s immense wind (50,000 MW potential in the Gharo-Keti Bandar corridor), solar, and hydropower resources—strategic international partnerships with leading blockchain and AI companies, and the establishment of fintech and innovation hubs.

未来的发展将包括可再生能源动力的设施，即巴基斯坦的巨大风（在Gharo-keti Bandar走廊中有50,000兆瓦的潜力），太阳能和水力发电资源 - 与领先的区块链和AI公司的战略国际合作伙伴关系，以及建立了金融科技和创新套件。

These efforts will be complemented by proposed incentives such as tax holidays, customs duty exemptions on equipment, and reduced taxes for AI infrastructure developers.

这些努力将得到提出的激励措施，例如税收假期，设备豁免海关税以及减少对AI基础设施开发商的税款。
