Kazakhstan's PM urges creation of full-fledged digital mining industry

In this news:

BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 15.

Kazakhstan needs to build a full-fledged digital mining industry

focused on energy consumption control, transparent taxation, and

integration into the global digital economy, Prime Minister Olzhas

Bektenov said at a government meeting.

This was announced in a statement published by the

press service of the Kazakh government.

According to the information, in the course of the

meeting, he noted that Kazakhstan ranked among the world's top 10

countries by share of global Bitcoin mining in 2025, according to

international studies.

“Our priority now should no longer be focused on

quantitative growth in mining capacity. State policy in this area

should move toward developing a higher-quality operating model with

control over energy consumption, transparent taxation and

integration of the industry into the global digital economy,” the

press office reported, citing Bektenov.

The Ministry of Artificial Intelligence, together

with the Blockchain and Mining Association and relevant government

agencies, was instructed to develop additional measures for the

sector's development.

The government also called for the creation of a

full-fledged digital mining industry comprising an exchange,

digital tools, tokenization, asset custody and payment

The Ministry of Energy, together with the Ministry of

Artificial Intelligence, was instructed to develop a mechanism for

using gas- and coal-fired power generation to supply mining

Bektenov also called for expanding the use of the

digital tenge, Kazakhstan's central bank digital currency, as an

instrument for modernizing payment infrastructure and improving the

efficiency of the financial system.

“The important result of using the digital tenge is

increased efficiency of government spending. The digital tenge can

become an instrument for developing digital financial services. The

possibility of concluding digital contracts will create

opportunities for automating settlements in public procurement and

corporate transactions. The Ministry of Finance, together with the

National Bank and other stakeholders, needs to work out all

possible measures to expand the use of the digital tenge,” Bektenov
