At the 2014 DEFCON Biohacking village I did exactly that. I gave out like 50 tubes of plasmid, all you had to do is go sequence em to extract the private key, and boom, you get like $200 (or like 15K today...) Literally nobody did it for a couple years, so I ended up taking out the bitcoin to pay for more DNA synthesis a few years ago. I actually did delete the bitcoin private key though, so I had to pay for sequencing it back out...
