The leading organization for crypto miners in Kazakhstan has projected that they can pour $1.5 billion into the nation’s economy over the next five years, resulting in over $300 million in tax revenue.
The National Association of Blockchain and Data Center Industry, which unites cryptocurrency extraction companies and accounts for 70 percent of the mining sector, said budget revenues can reach $400 million with the opening of cryptocurrency exchanges.
Crypto miners participating legally currently bring over $230 million into the Kazakhstan economy each year, according to the association’s president, Alan Dordzhiev.
If “gray” miners are taken into account, the figure can easily double.
The miners pay 13 billion tenge or over $30 million to the state-run power utility KEGOC for electricity distribution and services provided by the Financial Settlement Center of Renewable Energy.
Registered crypto farms make around $310 million a year from their activities, two-thirds of which are spent on electrical energy.
