Encode the Bitcoin key in to the DNA seems doable (expensive to do)... But, why? Cashing in on the Bitcoin would require sequencing the mouse's DNA (another big expense). If you wanted to invest in this a idea a lot.. You would need to save a lot of individual blood samples from mice... Or, keep dead mice in a box under your bed.
