A Welsh man on Friday repeated his previous request to the local council for permission to search a landfill site for a lost hard drive, which he claims contains bitcoin now worth around £210 million ($287 million).

The 35-year-old said that he’s willing to donate 25 percent of the value of the lost treasure to local residents.
