> The Bitcoin Foundation has not filed any documents with the SEC according to an SEC EDGAR search, nor can I find any existing IRS 990 record. I'm not a lawyer, and especially not a corporate lawyer, but I think you're required to file with those entities if you're a company and if you're claiming nonprofit status, respectively

No. SEC only deals with publicly traded corporations, and only some non-profit organizations must file a 990. Bitcoin foundation hasn't existed long enough for any 990s to be publicly available in any case— they're filed a year behind and there is usually a year lag before anyone posts them.
