据报道，英国一处垃圾填埋场即将关闭，一名男子正在努力找回丢失的硬盘，硬盘上有 8,000 比特币。
据 BBC 新闻 2 月 9 日报道，该垃圾填埋场位于威尔士纽波特，位于该国首都卡迪夫以东，预计将于 2025-26 财年关闭。
纽波特市议会发言人告诉 BBC：“该垃圾填埋场自 21 世纪初开始开采，即将达到使用寿命，因此市议会正在制定计划，在未来两年内关闭和封顶该垃圾填埋场。”
市议会已获得在部分土地上建造太阳能发电场的规划许可，该许可已于 8 月获得批准。
这里可能包含大量比特币，这些比特币存储在一个硬盘上，当地 IT 工作者 James Howells 声称，他的前合伙人在 2013 年错误地将其丢弃后，这些硬盘就被丢弃了。
他声称，该硬盘包含他在 2009 年开采的约 8,000 比特币，目前价值约 7.68 亿美元。
豪威尔斯与纽波特市议会卷入了长达十年的法律纠纷，他起诉纽波特市议会，要求获得许可在垃圾填埋场周围挖掘，试图找回硬盘——如果找到硬盘，就分得硬盘中的一部分——或者获得损失赔偿。
1 月份，法官驳回了此案，称豪威尔斯在全面审判中“没有获胜的现实希望”，豪威尔斯败诉。
他声称有人工智能专家使用技术轻松找到硬盘，而且这对市议会和公众来说都是免费的。
然而，10 月份，市议会表示，根据其环境许可，挖掘工作无法进行，因为“对周边地区环境造成巨大负面影响”。
