Man Who Lost 8,000 Bitcoin Now Worth $900 Million Wants To Tokenize Entire Wallet In Bid To Assert Claim On Dumped Fortune
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. James Howells, the man who has spent over a decade finding his misplaced hard drive containing over $900 million worth of Bitcoin (CRTPTO: BTC) riches, said Monday he has not given up despite repeated failures and will now tokenize his claim. Howell Changes Strategy After Bid To Buy Landfill Fails In an X post, Howells stated he made several attempts to negotiate with Newport City Council to allow him to search the landfill where the hard drive is believed to be, including public proposals, legal action, and even a formal offer of over $30 million. However, the council has consistently refused, citing environmental and logistical concerns. 'I am done asking permission,' the Wales-based software engineer said. His next plan of action involves tokenizing the entire wallet of 8,000 BTC into 800 billion Ceiniog Coin (INI), a Bitcoin Layer 2 token integrated with other blockchain technologies like Stacks, Runes and Ordinals. Trending: The same firms that backed Uber, Venmo and eBay are investing in this pre-IPO company disrupting a $1.8T market — Howells told The Block that the idea is to launch a successful high-speed, high-scale, fast-confirmation, payment-focused web3 environment backed by 8,000 BTC and secured by the Bitcoin blockchain. The Newport City Council didn't immediately return Benzinga's request for comment. An Unfortunate Saga The bizarre incident dates back to 2013, when Howells' ex-girlfriend unintentionally dumped a hard drive containing 8,000 BTC in the trash. When he lost the legal bid to excavate the site, Howells turned toward President Donald Trump for help, possibly influenced by the U.S. president's pro-cryptocurrency stance. The 8,000 Bitcoins would be worth a whopping $984.73 million at the all-time high price of $123,091.61 and $913.34 million at the prevailing market price of $114,168.

If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a 7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it?

6 Best Safari-and-Beach Holidays, From Madagascar to Mozambique
'Love and marriage, go together like a horse and carriage,' Sinatra crooned. Not exactly a current choice, but the song does drift to mind when asked about the merits of a bush-n-beach vacation—because that is one slam-dunk combination. Spending time in Africa's primordial wilderness areas is always an eye-opener, from the ethereal sight of a valley filigreed in spider webs made visible by dawn's dew to watching a leopard cuff a hyena as her cub scrambles up a tree, or pied kingfishers diving into reed-fringed pools deep with hippos. You never forget your first safari, and if you've booked in the right place, it's unlikely to be the last. That said, the daily regime—from predawn wake-up calls to postprandial fireside chats—can be tiring. So following it up with a powder-soft beach—the lapping of a warm Indian ocean acting as your evening lullaby—is a pretty perfect ending. But where on this vast continent would you land? Here are some of our favorite safari-and-beach trip ideas that combine the best of both. Singita Sasakwa is built in the style of a stately manor house, and is perched on a hillock with expansive views of the Serengeti. Courtesy Singita Sasakawa Grumeti Serengeti, Tanzania | Mnemba Island Zanzibar, Tanzania Bush Grumeti, in Tanzania's western Serengeti, is archetypal Africa: savannah plains with flat-topped acacias under big blue skies—always gorgeous, always secluded, regardless of when you visit in the migration cycle. It's also where you'll find Singita Sabora Tented Camp, arguably the most opulent and romantic tented camp in Africa, and easily combined with Singita Sasakwa Lodge. A game-drive distance away, Sasakwa is perched on a hillock with expansive views; a lovely contrast with Sabora, and Singita's mycelium-style service means the team here already know whether you prefer sparkling or still, cheese or dessert, sauvignon or chardonnay. Beach Just three clicks off the northeastern coast of fast-developing Zanzibar, Mnemba is long feted the most romantic beach lodge in East Africa, and a huge overhaul in 2024 has only cemented this. Its 12 'bandas'—all-natural cocoons privately located in the casuarina forest's cool depths; tiny duiker antelopes foraging as you make your way along private pathways to a startlingly white beach—are hard to leave. And with modern conveniences, fabulous snacks, and a butler at your service, you really don't have to. Connectivity: Coastal Air offer an easy ride from Grumeti airstrip to Stone Town airport; you'll likely stop to pick up passengers but there's no disembarking, and should get there in three hours. From here andBeyond will be waiting to whisk you across to the north-east coast—a 1.5-hour drive at the most followed by a quick 10-minute boat ride. More worth considering: Completely overhauled in 2022, andBeyond Grumeti Serengeti offers the kind of accommodation and service one expects from this class-act outfit, and combining it with more of their Tanzania or Kenya camps (all great) can offer significant savings. And keep an eye on Laba Grumeti Art Lodge. A contemporary-chic take on the tented camp, filled with contemporary artworks by 10 African artists, vintage Land Rovers adapted to run on diesel, ethanol and electric, elevated views, and no shortage of modern conveniences, it opens September 2025. Pair this with Zanzibar Sunrise, a perennial Zanzibar favorite, with its prime position overlooking a lush garden-beach cove, the best on Zanzibar's east coast. Or head north to Matemwe, where the rustic-romantic Zanzibar Sunrise comprises 14 barefoot-chic-Crusoe-castaway bungalows, built right on the beach. Time + Tide's Tsara Komba on Nosy Komba, a forested mountain-island just a short boat ride from Nosy Be, is a bucket-list experience. Time and Tide South Luangwa National Park, Zambia | Nose Be Archipelago, Madagascar Bush Named after the broad expanse of water that flows along its southern boundary, under pillowed clouds and crepuscular skies, South Luangwa National Park offers great game viewing (Zambia's largest populations of lions; one of the highest leopard densities in Africa) alongside gorgeous landscapes, negligible visitor numbers, and one of the continent's best walking experiences. It's a true immersion in untrammeled wilderness, walking between any of Time + Tide's camps—each only two to four hours apart, while luggage is transferred by road. Do opt to spend at least one night sleeping under the stars. Beach Combining the best of the Indian ocean—floating above a kaleidoscope of fish; swimming with turtles—with fascinating wildlife in the verdant forests (lemurs; chameleons; boa constrictors!), the Nose Be archipelago offers 'bush and beach' in one, and is relatively undeveloped and totally unmarred by tourism. Lucky then, to find one of the most special lodges on the continent: Time + Tide's Tsara Komba on Nosy Komba, a forested mountain-island just a short boat ride from Nosy Be. Comprising eight timber cocoons, thatched roofs peeking out the lushly landscaped hillside overlooking a crescent of sand, the glittering ocean backdropped by the green hills of the mainland, the water warm, and calm—it is simply idyllic.
