I wonder if there can be a way for a new DAO to be created on the Ethereum blockchain with its smart-contract abilities but with storing the value in BTC rather than in ETH?

It could be possible now that BTC Relay is up and running. That wasn't really an option when this DAO was being formed, but a future DAO could theoretically use this to store BTC as a backing value for their tokens on the Ethereum network and just utilize the contracts as a way to manage the organization while keeping all their funds in BTC. That would obviously be a bit more involved and that whole concept is still fairly experimental, but it is definitely a scenario that is on the table so to speak.
