I think you're missing the point. The bank doesn't want you to prove ownership of a particular asset; they want you to prove that you are "carrying on a business". Owning a website (or a printer, or a truck, or lots of money) doesn't mean you have a business. It's about the nature and purpose of your activities with those assets (or skills). I can add an identity token to my personal website, but that doesn't make it a business any more than putting a saddle on a zebra makes it a horse. This ruling from the Australian Tax Office lays out pretty clearly the defining characteristics of a business [1]. It's probably a bit different in the USA, but I'm sure it's not too dissimilar.
