Man Wants to Buy Entire Landfill to Find Lost Bitcoin Wallet Worth $872 Million

James Howells, a man who lost a Bitcoin (BTC) hard wallet worth $872 million, wants to buy the landfill site where the hard wallet was last known to be. Howells' frustration has grown since the UK Court closed the case of his lost 8,000 Bitcoins and ruled that the Bitcoins belong to the Newport City Council.

"I'm interested in buying the landfill site," said Howells. His statement came after he expressed concern that the landfill would soon be closed by the city council this fiscal year and replaced with a solar power plant.

To date, the IT expert has been frustrated because the Newport City Council has repeatedly rejected excavating the landfill, despite Howells suggesting the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology to find the hard drive without burdening the national tax. However, officials say that excavating the landfill or digging up waste could have a significant negative impact on the environment.

Additionally, Howells' 8,000 Bitcoins are currently valued at $872.91 million, with an all-time high price of $109,114.
