The prominent crypto wallet MetaMask has revealed its support for Bitcoin, suggesting that additional blockchain integrations are on the horizon for next year.
On Monday, MetaMask shared the news on social media, nearly ten months after initially teasing the feature in February, announcing that Bitcoin (BTC) has now been integrated alongside assets from the Ethereum, Solana, Monad, and Sei blockchains.
“Once confirmed, any Bitcoin transactions you execute will be listed in your asset list. Keep in mind: Bitcoin transactions tend to be slower compared to those on EVM or Solana networks,” noted MetaMask.
This update allows users to buy, swap, send, and receive BTC, with incentives for utilizing the asset; every swap into BTC earns users MetaMask reward points.
Previously, users of MetaMask could only engage with BTC through wrapped versions of the asset.
The discussion about BTC integration started back in February, with MetaMask’s Dan Finlay indicating that it would be launched in the third quarter of 2025.

MetaMask expands from Ethereum to a multichain platform
Originally designed to support the Ethereum ecosystem and EVM-compatible networks, MetaMask has been progressively broadening its scope throughout 2025.
In May, MetaMask initiated this expansion with the integration of Solana, which was later followed by Sei in August and Monad in November. Although the firm has remained discreet, it has hinted at adding more networks in the upcoming year.
“The introduction of Bitcoin support is the latest move in our multichain growth, following the rollouts of Monad and Sei earlier this year, with additional networks expected in 2026,” shared MetaMask.
