Bitcoin’s Lost Fortune: Millions Gone Forever!
Did you know that around 20% of all Bitcoin is considered lost forever? That’s roughly 3.7 million $BTC , worth billions of $USDC dollars, trapped in forgotten wallets, lost keys, and hard drives buried in landfills.
One famous case? James Howells, a UK-based IT worker, accidentally threw away a hard drive containing 8,000 BTC back in 2013. He has since spent years trying to dig it up—but the landfill refuses to grant him access!
With Bitcoin’s supply capped at 21 million, these lost coins make BTC even more scarce, potentially driving up its value over time. So, if you own Bitcoin, keep your private keys safe—your future wealth depends on it!
