Pakistan Bitcoin Mining scene just got hotter

Pakistan has announced plans to allocate a portion of its surplus electricity to Bitcoin mining. Some of this will also be allocated to artificial intelligence data centers. He added that Pakistan has held discussions with several Bitcoin mining companies. The locations of the mining centers will be determined based on areas with excess power supply.

Tether announced its intention to deploy both existing and future hashrate on OCEAN, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick stated that the U.S. will “accelerate Bitcoin mining” through the “Investment Accelerator” program.

Mining is going institutional, national, and everything in between. Signal is bullish—Pakistan’s grid deal, Tether’s decentralized hashrate play, and the US Investment Accelerator are all pushing $BTC mining deeper into mainstream and institutional territory.

Pakistan’s move could flood the network with cheap, possibly green hashrate, while Tether’s OCEAN deployment signals new standards for decentralization and transparency. US government backing means more regulatory clarity, but it also hints at tighter oversight.

Social and ETF capital inflows show confidence in Bitcoin’s resilience, though there’s still some unease over centralization or future state controls. Want the full breakdown on how these moves will reshape miner competition and network security?
