I've never put more into mine than required for matching either.
I don't expect government 401k seizures, but I could easily imagine being required to hold a certain share of US Treasuries. That's as good as a seizure to them and it's easier to pitch politically.

You dont expect it, but at the rate they are making debt and printing money, Im sure it could happen.

Why would it happen, though?
Like I said, making us hold their debt is the same thing financially, so why go through the political headache of confiscating hundreds of millions of peoples retirement accounts?

Just imagine, they will give you the fiat and seize your btc. In order to set up their btc reserve, they would be giving you "fair value".

They will definitely cash it out in fiat. There's no claim whatsoever that it's your bitcoin. The ETF holder only has a claim on the value of those bitcoin transactions. It's the same for any other ETF, like gold or oil or whatever.
That could change if the regulations change in such a way that we can actually hold bitcoin directly in these accounts.

Can you imagine if we could hold our own keys? That would be like paradise, but I can see a lot of people abusing that system. Maybe a multi-sig system?

For legal reasons, it would have to be some form of multi-sig.

Right, that is what I was thinking. Multisig would be nice, that way you would have some security from the company taking them and running off.
