James Howells Seeks to Buy Newport Landfill Containing 8,000 Bitcoins Worth $768 Million Ahead of 2025-26 Closure

James Howells, a British man who lost access to a hard drive containing 8,000 bitcoins, valued at approximately £620 million ($768 million), is seeking to purchase the Newport landfill where the hard drive was discarded. The site is scheduled to close in 2025-26, which may provide a final opportunity for Howells to recover his lost fortune.

Despite previous unsuccessful attempts to gain access to the landfill and a dismissed lawsuit against Newport City Council, Howells remains determined to explore this new avenue. His case has drawn significant media attention as he continues to pursue the recovery of his bitcoins, which he lost in 2013.
