For this year the FinCEN has stated: “Currently the FBAR (Form 114) regulations do not define virtual currency held in an offshore account as a type of reportable account. For this reason, at this time, virtual currency held in an offshore account is not reportable on the FBAR.”
However for the future you need to follow this issue since the FINCEN position on virtual currency accounts is very likely to change at some point.
You can find FinCEN’s letter of January 22, 2020 in Appendix III of the Government Accountability Office report Virtual Currencies: Additional Information Reporting and Clarified Guidance Could Improve Tax Compliance .
