In some cases, the ownership of a property is shared between different parties or people. To support these situations, the Bitmark Property System provides a feature called Bitmark shares.
Any owner of a Bitmark Certificate is able to:
- Create Bitmark shares from that Bitmark Certificate.
- Grant Bitmark shares to another account.
- Swap Bitmark shares with other accounts.
Currently, only the Bitmark CLI supports working with bitmark shares. Transactions related to Bitmark shares require a transaction fee. On the bitmark network, the fee can be paid with BTC or LTC
- Real BTC and/or LTC are used to pay for transaction fee on the Bitmark main chain
- Testnet BTC and/or LTC are used to pay for transaction fee on the Bitmark testing chain
Three records related to Bitmark shares are stored on the Bitmark blockchain.
- Balance Record - created by a bitmark owner to permanently set the total number of a particular share for a Bitmark Certificate.
- Grant Record - created by an owner to grant an amount of his share balance to another owner.
- Swap Record - created by two owners to simultaneously swap their shares of different Bitmark Certificates.
The bitmark-wallet
software is required for paying for transactions. Please refer to the CLI Payment document for instructions on installing it.
Any Bitmark owner can divide a Bitmark Certificate into a number of shares by creating the shares and paying the associated fees. Additional commands can be used to verify the transaction.
- The initial number of shares is not changeable once a Bitmark Certificate is divided.
- Once the Bitmark Certificate is converted into shares, it can no longer be transferred any more, though the shares can be granted or swapped. The provenance of the bitmark is concluded.
- All of the created shares are allocated to the owner.

Any user with a non-zero share balance can grant shares from that balance to another account. This is a three-part process: initializing the granting of shares; countersigning the grant; and paying for the transaction. Afterward, the transaction can be verified.
The share grant transaction requires two signatures. Therefore, after the current share owner initializes the grant, the new owner needs to sign to accept the shares.

Owners of shares of two different bitmark Bitmark Certificates can simultaneously swap their shares.
Similar to share granting, share swapping is a three-part process: one owner (the sender) initializes the swapping; the other owner (the recipient) countersigns to accept the swap and to execute the transaction; and then someone makes a payment. Afterward, the transaction can be verified.
