The law doesn't care whether the same justification exists. A bitcoin wallet in your house in US is not a foreign asset, since those bits (that representing private keys for bitcoin addresses) are physically in the US.

Right. Exactly. They'll have to change the law so that it does care about personal bitcoin wallets.
