It's simple to calculate...

The net difference is 0 because data isn't stored as an electrical charge. The data is stored by the orientation of a magnetic coating on the surface of the disk. When the head energizes it simply acts as an electromagnet and changes the magnetic orientation on the face of the platter... A binary 1 is observed when the positive pole is facing the head and a 0 is when the negative pole is facing the head.

So the weight and mass of a Bitcoin is 0.

Materialists don't believe in anything non-physical. They'll find some underhanded way of discrediting your logic. Failing that they'll resort to ad-hoc personal attacks.

If I am storing my bitcoin key on 256 light bulb.
Given a lightbulb weight 10 gram, my key weight is 2kg 560g.
Given that my key store 0.05 bitcoin, it makes around 51 kg by BTC.

But I can influence the weight of a bitcoin by storing more on my key, or using lighter light bulb.

I think it is about time for you to switch to LEDs.
