Dividing Cryptocurrency and NFTs in a Divorce

May 25, 2022 By JD Heberger

A relatively new issue that is coming up in a divorce is how to divide digital assets.  These are non-fungible tokens (NFTs) like bitcoins.  If the spouse who has been buying these digital assets reveals the assets as he or she is required to do according to the law, they can be identified and divided equally between the spouses if they were purchased with community property assets.

Divide Digital Assets

In too many cases, a spouse decides, “Hey.  I’m going to throw $500 into Bitcoin.” They may not share that information with their spouse, thinking it is an immaterial amount.  As a result, identifying the asset becomes a problem.

The two problems come up with NFTs:

  1. Identification.
  2. Valuation of the digital assets.

NFTs often increase or decrease by the hour, by the day, and by the month, so the valuation of digital currencies is very difficult.

Valuation of Digital Assets

This is a challenge, but there are active markets that can be analyzed to see what certain NFTs are being sold for so there is some transparency as far as valuation.

It is cumbersome to evaluate the tax consequences for the parties from digital assets.  There are some uncharted waters, and no one really knows how it is going to be done.

With a traditional investment portfolio, with mutual funds and stocks, they can be divided tax-free, so the goal is to divide cryptocurrencies or digital assets tax-free.

What our clients are saying…

Anonymous Client

The trouble with the collaborative process is that nobody has heard of it.  All through my divorce, my friends kept telling me I needed to hire a stronger attorney, one who would fight for me and win.  Well… in the end, I do feel I won, big time.  I not only got a great settlement in terms of the money, I’m also sure we got the best results possible for our kids.  We’re never going to be that divorced couple who celebrate Christmas together.  But the kids know that we can and will come to their weddings and be good with each other, which might not have happened if we’d stayed married, and certainly wouldn’t have happened if we’d made the divorce into a war.  To me, that’s priceless.
