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.
