Divorce attorney James Sexton, appearing on Natalie Brunell's show on May 5, 2026, recounted a property division case that has since circulated widely in Bitcoin circles. A committed Bitcoin investor, going through a divorce during a market dip, faced a spouse who dismissed his crypto holdings as worthless — comparing them to "unicorns in the garage."
The wife's legal team, equally unfamiliar with crypto valuation, pushed hard for the family home. The husband obliged, conceding the house equity without resistance. By the time the settlement was finalized, he had retained his entire Bitcoin stack and come out roughly $400,000 ahead on a net-asset basis.
Sexton framed the outcome as a cautionary tale for the other side: in any asset division involving crypto, the opposing party's ignorance of market dynamics can be just as consequential as the assets themselves.
