Good day!
I have just bought Apple TV 4K to change my old Apple TV. And I could not believe that new Apple Tv does not have Optical Audio Port.
My Audio system might be connected only through Wi-fi or Optical Audio. BlueTooth is not a way fro my Audio System.
Is there any opportunity to connect Apple TV 4K via Wi-fi with my Audio system?

If you want to use the optical connection, in combination with Apple TV 4K, then you have two options:
Connect via the TV (audio passthrough):
Apple TV →[HDMI]→ TV →[optical]→ Audio system
Connect via an HDMI audio extractor.
Apple TV →[HDMI]→ HDMI Audio Extractor →[HDMI]→ TV
↘︎[optical]→ Audio system
The popular connection for modern equipment (including audio system) is HDMI. Wi-Fi is not suitable for audio sources from Apple TV, unless the Audio system is AirPlay-enabled. But then it probably would have HDMI as well, being somewhat higher-end.

Never hear before about HDMI Audio Extractor but it would solve my problem for sure.
Thank you!
