Pakistan Taps Surplus Power Capacity to Fuel Bitcoin Mining, AI Data Centers

Pakistan’s grid has a surplus problem—and crypto miners are cashing in. The country’s underutilized power infrastructure is now fueling energy-hungry Bitcoin operations and next-gen AI data centers, turning wasted capacity into a speculative gold rush.

While traditional industries balk at the volatility, the math is simple: stranded electricity plus proof-of-work equals profit (until the next market crash, at least).

Critics argue this is short-term thinking—but when your national grid’s efficiency rivals a 1990s dial-up connection, maybe moonshot bets make sense. Just don’t ask who picks up the tab when crypto winter hits.
