紐波特（Newport

威爾士紐波特的一個垃圾填埋場，一名男子在2025-26財政年度失去了一個裝有8,000個比特幣的硬盤驅動器。

A man's hopes of retrieving 8,000 Bitcoins, currently valued at over £620 million, are fading as the landfill site in Newport where he lost a hard drive containing the cryptocurrency is set to close by 2026.

一個人希望取回8,000個比特幣（目前價值超過6.2億英鎊）的希望正在淡化為紐波特的垃圾填埋場地，在那裡他失去了包含加密貨幣的硬盤驅動器，到2026年將關閉。

James Howells has been battling in court for years to try and reclaim his device from the site. He said he accidentally threw the hard drive away in 2013.

詹姆斯·豪威爾斯（James Howells）在法庭上已經在法庭上戰鬥了多年，試圖從現場收回他的設備。他說，他在2013年不小心扔了硬盤驅動器。

The landfill site has been operating since the early 2000s, according to Newport council documents, and is now coming to the end of its operational life.

根據紐波特委員會的文件，自2000年代初以來，垃圾填埋場就一直在運營，現在即將結束其運營生活。

The council said the site will be closed with final capping operations over the next two years, in line with its planned closure strategy and long term waste management strategy.

該理事會表示，該網站將在未來兩年內通過最終的封蓋操作關閉，這與計劃的關閉策略和長期廢物管理策略一致。

The household waste recycling centre to the north of the site will remain open.

現場北部的家庭廢物回收中心將保持開放。

The closure of the landfill site is set to have an impact on the city's finances, with the council expecting to lose £777,000 in income next year and a further £198,000 the following year.

垃圾填埋場現場的關閉將對該市的財務產生影響，理事會預計明年的收入將損失777,000英鎊，第二年再損失198,000英鎊。

The solar farm, which was approved in August 2024, will provide electricity for the local authority and is set to be operational by the end of next year. The council now has seven electric bin lorries in operation and plans to replace its entire diesel fleet in the coming years.

該太陽能農場於2024年8月獲得批准，將為地方當局提供電力，並將在明年年底之前運營。該委員會現在有7輛電力倉卡車正在運營，併計劃在未來幾年內取代其整個柴油車隊。

The subject of Bitcoins that have been lost over the years continues to be of interest in the financial world.

多年來丟失的比特幣的主題繼續在金融界感興趣。

Head of Tether Paolo Ardoino has suggested that advances in quantum computing could eventually allow cryptocurrencies to be accessed from abandoned wallets. Investors may begin selling their assets as access to previously forgotten Bitcoin funds becomes available, putting pressure on Bitcoin prices.

Tether Paolo Ardoino的負責人建議，量子計算的進步最終可以從廢棄的錢包中訪問加密貨幣。投資者可能會開始出售其資產，因為可以使用以前被遺忘的比特幣基金，對比特幣價格施加壓力。

The closure of the landfill site makes it increasingly unlikely that Mr Howells will ever be able to recover his Bitcoins.

垃圾填埋場的關閉使霍威爾先生越來越不可能恢復他的比特幣。
