The president could not order that bitcoin (or any other asset) be confiscated. This would be against both the 4th and 5th amendments to the constitution. Although for president Obama, this does not seem to matter.

You need to study your history.

While I agree that such would be unconstitutional, there is precedent for such an action. See (IIRC) executive order 6012.
