Landfill containing $750 million in Bitcoin hard drives to be permanently closed
the Newport City Council in Wales plans to permanently close and seal a landfill site during the 2025-26 period. The landfill contains a hard drive mistakenly discarded by IT engineer James Howells in 2013, which stores 7,500 Bitcoins worth about $750 million at current prices. The council plans to convert part of the site into a solar power generation field to supply power to the municipal electric vehicle fleet.
Earlier news reported that Howells' lawsuit to search for the hard drive had been dismissed by the Welsh court.
