Cryptocurrencies in divorce in Spain

Community property (gananciales — most common regime):

  • Crypto acquired during marriage = marital property
  • Crypto acquired before marriage = private property

Splitting options:

  1. Sell and split money: Sale = taxable capital gain/loss
  2. Direct award to one spouse: NOT a taxable event (exempt from IRPF and ITPAJD). Acquisition cost = original purchase price of the couple.

Hidden crypto problem: Private wallets hard to trace. Specialized family lawyers can subpoena exchange data.

AEAT models in divorce: Models 172/173 filed during marriage can be requested as evidence of crypto holdings.
