巴基斯坦推出比特币采矿和AI数据中心国家计划

为了领导数字创新的大胆行动，巴基斯坦启动了国家计划的第一阶段，以为比特币采矿和AI数据中心提供动力。

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.

巴基斯坦正在迈向数字创新的重要一步，该计划的第一阶段启动了比特币采矿和AI数据中心。

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.

该项目将利用2,000兆瓦（MW）的电力。由财政部支持的巴基斯坦加密委员会（PCC）率先主动这一倡议。

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

目的是利用剩余电力，创造高科技就业机会，吸引外国投资并产生大量的政府收入。

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

财政部长参议员穆罕默德·奥兰泽布（Muhammad Aurangzeb）宣布这一倡议将其描述为关键时刻。

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.

部长指出，这一步骤将把额外的能源转变为有价值的思想，促进投资并产生外国收入，最终释放经济潜力的新途径。

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.

该官员强调了巴基斯坦作为全球数据中心的战略地位，该国说，该国位于亚洲，欧洲和中东的十字路口。

自从巴基斯坦加密委员会成立以来，全球著名的比特币矿工和领先的数据公司都引起了人们的兴趣。为此，几家公司已经访问了巴基斯坦，预计未来几周将会有更多公司的到来。

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.

财政部解释说，该项目将将未使用的权力转换为有价值的数字资产。比特币挖掘和AI数据中心需要恒定的高水平运营能量，使其非常适合利用盈余功率。

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.

该项目将从未充分利用的植物中重新定向能源，将潜在的负担转变为政府的长期收入来源。

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.

巴基斯坦加密委员会首席执行官比拉尔·本·萨基布（Bilal Bin Saqib）强调了这项倡议的潜力，他说，该国可以成为南亚地区人工智能和加密货币领域的领导者。

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

重点是适当的监督和透明度，巴基斯坦可以有效地管理该项目，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.

该项目将为巴基斯坦人创造高科技就业机会，并从比特币采矿中以美元收入产生大量的政府收入。随着加密货币法规的发展，巴基斯坦在国家钱包中持有比特币的可能性也可能出现，这标志着战略的实质转变。

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，巴基斯坦将在巴基斯坦卢比（PKR）出售其电力，但将来，比特币将增加美元（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.

巴基斯坦提供了廉价和稳定的能源以及用于建立大规模数据中心的可用土地。

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

在全球范围内，对AI数据中心的需求已飙升至100GW，而目前的供应水平约为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.

这一重大差距为巴基斯坦提供了一个独特的机会，可以将其现有能源容量和迅速发展的Web3的法律框架发挥领导作用。
