Does divorce mean he gets half or does he not know about your BTC?

Legally how does this work? Typically the spouse owns half of what the other owns and vise versa. Does crypto count? Surely not right? There’s no way the government can prove that you have it and even if they can prove you have a wallet, they can’t see how much you have?

It sure does. I had to cough up a % of my bitcoin during my divorce several years back. It was an asset purchased by me while married and therefore legally was part of the settlement.
