The Seller hereby sells, transfers, assigns, and conveys to the Buyer, and the Buyer hereby purchases and accepts from the Seller, the following described personal property (the "Property"): [item_description]. The Buyer acknowledges that the Buyer has had a full and adequate opportunity to inspect the Property prior to the execution of this Agreement and accepts the Property in its current condition as described herein.
The total purchase price for the Property is [sale_price] (the "Purchase Price"), payable in full by the Buyer to the Seller on or before the Sale Date. The Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that the Purchase Price represents the fair and agreed-upon value of the Property as negotiated between the Parties at arm's length. Upon receipt of the Purchase Price in full, the Seller shall be deemed to have been fully compensated for the sale, transfer, and conveyance of the Property, and the Seller shall have no further right, title, or interest in or to the Property or the Purchase Price.
The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Buyer that: (a) the Seller is the sole and lawful owner of the Property and has full right, power, and authority to sell, transfer, and convey the Property to the Buyer; (b) the Property is free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, security interests, pledges, claims, charges, and restrictions of any kind whatsoever; (c) the Seller has not previously sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or otherwise encumbered the Property or any interest therein to any other person or entity; and (d) the Seller will defend the Buyer's title to the Property against any and all claims and demands of any person or entity claiming an interest therein.
Upon execution of this Agreement and receipt of the Purchase Price in full, the Seller hereby irrevocably transfers, assigns, and conveys to the Buyer all of the Seller's right, title, and interest in and to the Property, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and claims of any kind. Title to and risk of loss of the Property shall pass from the Seller to the Buyer upon the execution of this Agreement and payment of the Purchase Price. From and after the transfer of title, the Buyer shall be solely responsible for the Property, including its care, maintenance, insurance, and all risks of loss, damage, theft, or destruction. The Seller agrees to execute and deliver to the Buyer any and all additional documents, instruments, or certificates as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to evidence or effectuate the transfer of title to the Property.
5.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the state in which the transaction is consummated, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. 5.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations, and discussions, whether oral or written, between the Parties relating to the sale and purchase of the Property. 5.3 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. 5.4 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except by a written instrument signed by both Parties. 5.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 5.6 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors, and assigns.
The parties acknowledge that this Bill of Sale constitutes a writing sufficient to satisfy the Michigan Statute of Frauds, MCL 566.132, for the transfer of personal property valued in excess of the statutory threshold. The detailed description of the cryptocurrency assets, including wallet addresses, smart contract identifiers, token quantities, and blockchain network, together with the stated purchase price in both cryptocurrency and USD equivalent, provides the specificity required under Michigan law. Seller represents it has full legal authority to transfer title free of any liens, encumbrances, or security interests recorded on any blockchain or under Michigan’s Uniform Commercial Code as adopted. This provision ensures enforceability in Michigan courts and protects the Cryptocurrency Fund Manager from claims that the transfer was oral or inadequately documented. Any subsequent dispute regarding ownership shall be resolved under Michigan law without regard to conflict of laws principles.
Seller, acting as a Cryptocurrency Fund Manager, represents that the transferred assets do not constitute an unregistered security under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, or if they do, all required disclosures and exemptions have been properly filed with the SEC. Seller further certifies compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and FinCEN regulations for anti-money laundering (AML) and that all applicable KYC procedures have been completed for the buyer. Buyer acknowledges the inherent risks of market volatility, custody risk, and regulatory uncertainty associated with cryptocurrency as described in the fund’s offering documents. This clause is required to mitigate the common liability of misclassification of tokens and to fulfill the fiduciary responsibilities imposed on Registered Investment Advisers managing assets in Michigan.
Seller warrants that at the time of transfer the cryptocurrency assets were held in cold storage or an industry-standard multi-signature wallet compliant with best practices published by the Crypto Rating Council. Upon delivery of private keys and/or execution of the on-chain transfer, all custody risk passes to the Buyer. Seller makes no warranty as to the future performance, liquidity, or regulatory status of the assets post-transfer, consistent with the disclaimers required under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) when digital assets are treated as commodities. Buyer accepts the assets 'as-is' and acknowledges that Michigan’s modified comparative fault rule may limit recovery in any future dispute involving loss due to hacking, key mismanagement, or smart contract failure. This provision addresses the custody risk liability uniquely faced by Cryptocurrency Fund Managers in Michigan.
If any personnel records or employee data of the Cryptocurrency Fund Manager are implicated in the custody transfer or key management process, the parties acknowledge compliance with the Bullard-Plawecki Employee Right to Know Act, MCL 423.501 et seq. Buyer is granted no right to inspect Seller’s internal records except as required by Michigan law or valid subpoena. Seller represents that no material non-public information protected under this Act was disclosed in connection with this sale. This clause ensures that the Bill of Sale for Cryptocurrency Fund Manager in Michigan meets state-specific employee privacy obligations while transferring digital asset ownership.

As a Cryptocurrency Fund Manager operating in Michigan, you face unique risks when transferring ownership of digital assets such as cold storage hardware wallets, staking nodes, or tokenized securities. A standard generic bill of sale fails to address the volatility, custody protocols, and regulatory overlays that define your industry. For example, when a Michigan-based fund liquidates a portion of its DeFi holdings to an accredited investor during a market downturn, disputes often arise over wallet seed phrases, smart contract rights, and whether the transfer complies with both federal securities laws and Michigan’s Statute of Frauds (MCL 566.132). Without a properly drafted bill of sale that explicitly references the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, BSA/FinCEN AML obligations, and Michigan’s modified comparative fault rule, fund managers risk costly litigation over ownership, tax basis, or undisclosed liens on the blockchain. This Michigan-tailored Bill of Sale for Cryptocurrency Fund Manager documents the exact item (e.g., “Cold storage Ledger Nano X holding 47.3 ETH and associated private keys”), purchase price in both fiat and stablecoin, representations about clean title under Michigan law, and disclaimers regarding market volatility and regulatory uncertainty. It protects you when investors later claim the transferred assets were encumbered or that you failed to disclose material risks required under SEC guidelines. By incorporating state-specific requirements such as Bullard-Plawecki record inspection rights for any personnel data tied to the custody transfer, this document helps you avoid the common pain point of misclassification of tokens as securities and provides enforceable proof of transfer that stands up in Michigan courts.
Beyond the standard bill of sale sections, this template adds fields specific to Cryptocurrency Fund Manager:

For this bill of sale to be legally valid:
Common mistakes to avoid:
Securities Act of 1933
Regulates the offer and sale of securities to ensure that investors receive the significant information about an investment prior to buying it. Cryptocurrency fund managers need to determine if tokens are considered securities under this act.
Enforced by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
Investment Advisers Act of 1940
Regulates investment advisers, including those managing cryptocurrency funds, focusing on fiduciary responsibilities and conflict of interest disclosures.
Enforced by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
Bank Secrecy Act (BSA)
Requires reporting of certain transactions to prevent money laundering. Cryptocurrency fund managers need to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) obligations under the BSA.
Enforced by Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN)
Commodity Exchange Act (CEA)
Regulates trading of commodity futures and options markets. As certain cryptocurrencies are considered commodities, fund managers may fall under the purview of this act.

Michigan’s Statute of Frauds (MCL 566.132) requires that any transfer of assets valued over a certain threshold or that cannot be performed within one year be evidenced by a signed writing with sufficient detail. A generic template omits critical cryptocurrency-specific identifiers such as wallet addresses, token contract addresses, staking lock-up periods, and cold storage protocols. For a Cryptocurrency Fund Manager, this document must also incorporate disclosures required by the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and FinCEN BSA obligations, plus Michigan’s unique modified comparative fault rule that could affect liability allocation in a dispute. Without these, the bill of sale may be deemed unenforceable in Michigan courts, exposing the fund to claims of incomplete transfer or undisclosed regulatory risks.
Beyond the standard purchase price and parties, the form must capture wallet addresses (both hot and cold storage), blockchain network (Ethereum, Solana, etc.), token smart contract addresses, current staking status, private key custody arrangements, and any DeFi protocol rights being transferred. For Michigan compliance, the document must affirm that the seller has clear title free of liens under Michigan law and that the buyer acknowledges the inherent volatility risk referenced in SEC guidance. These details prevent ambiguity that frequently leads to litigation when a fund manager in Michigan sells tokenized assets to an investor.
Yes. The template includes representations and warranties that the transfer complies with the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) administered by FinCEN and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. It requires the seller to confirm they are not transferring assets subject to any regulatory hold and that all AML/KYC obligations have been met. Michigan-specific language ensures the governing law is Michigan and that any personnel records related to the transfer comply with the Bullard-Plawecki Employee Right to Know Act (MCL 423.501), giving the document stronger evidentiary value before Michigan regulators and courts.
While Michigan does not universally mandate notarization for every bill of sale, high-value cryptocurrency transfers are treated similarly to high-value personal property. For enforceability under MCL 566.132 and to strengthen admissibility in disputes involving regulatory compliance, we recommend notarization or witness verification. This is especially important for Cryptocurrency Fund Managers who must demonstrate clean title and compliance with SEC and CFTC rules regarding commodities and securities. The form includes dedicated fields for notary acknowledgment to meet best practices.
