The crypto wallet leader MetaMask has revealed its new support for Bitcoin, signaling that additional blockchain integrations will be introduced next year.
MetaMask shared the news on social media on Monday, nearly a year after initially teasing it in February, confirming that Bitcoin (BTC) is now among the supported assets alongside Ethereum, Solana, Monad, and Sei blockchains.
“Any Bitcoin transactions you make will show up in your asset list once confirmed. Keep in mind: Bitcoin transactions are generally slower than those on EVM or Solana networks,” MetaMask stated.
This update allows users to buy, swap, send, and receive BTC, providing incentives for utilizing the asset, as swaps into BTC will earn users MetaMask reward points.
Before this, MetaMask users could only interact with BTC through wrapped versions of the asset.
The integration of BTC was first mentioned in February, with Dan Finlay from MetaMask suggesting it would be launched in the third quarter of 2025.

MetaMask evolves from Ethereum to multichain
Originally designed for the Ethereum ecosystem and EVM-compatible networks, MetaMask has been steadily expanding its reach in 2025.
MetaMask began this expansion with the integration of Solana in May, followed by Sei in August and Monad in November. The company has kept details under wraps but indicated plans to add more networks next year.
“Support for Bitcoin is the latest milestone in our multichain growth, following the introduction of Monad and Sei earlier this year, with additional networks to be added in 2026,” MetaMask announced.
