COMMENTS
a(n) is well-defined for all n, because 2^k can actually start with (not just contain) any finite sequence of digits without leading zeros. This follows from the facts that log_10(2) is irrational and that the set of fractional parts of n*x is dense in [0,1] if x is irrational. - Pontus von Brömssen, Jul 21 2021

FORMULA
a(n) <= A018856(n) for n >= 1. - Pontus von Brömssen, Jul 21 2021
EXAMPLE
2^12 = 4096 is first power of 2 containing a 9, so a(9) = 12.

(PARI) a(n) = {if (n==1, return (0)); my(k=1, sn = Str(n)); while (#strsplit(Str(2^k), sn) == 1, k++); k; } \\ Michel Marcus, Mar 06 2021
(PARI) apply( A030000(n)={n=Str(n); for(k=0, oo, #strsplit(Str(2^k), n)>1&& return(k))}, [0..99]) \\ Also allows to search for digit strings with leading zeros, e.g., "00" => k=53. - M. F. Hasler, Jul 11 2021
