Currently, there are 78 mining operators in the country, with over 465,000 registered mining devices. From 2023 to 2025, miners are expected to pay approximately 35 billion tenge (around $75 million) in taxes, primarily from value-added tax on equipment imports. 81.5% of digital mining services are concentrated in the capital, Astana, where the Astana International Financial Centre hosts offices of exchanges such as Binance and Bybit. Previously, President Tokayev signed a law abolishing the mandatory requirement for miners to sell the majority of their mined assets through exchanges at the Astana Financial Centre.
