Crypto wallet leader MetaMask has revealed it now supports Bitcoin, suggesting further blockchain integrations will be introduced next year.
On Monday, MetaMask shared the update on social media, nearly ten months after initially teasing it in February, announcing that Bitcoin (BTC) has been added alongside assets from the Ethereum, Solana, Monad, and Sei blockchains.
“Any Bitcoin transactions you conduct will show up in your asset list upon confirmation. Keep in mind: Bitcoin transactions generally take longer than those on EVM or Solana networks,” MetaMask stated.
This update allows users to purchase BTC, swap to BTC, and send and receive BTC. Additionally, users will be encouraged to utilize Bitcoin since any swaps to BTC will earn them MetaMask reward points.
Previously, users of MetaMask could only access BTC through wrapped versions of the asset.
The integration of BTC was first mentioned back in February, with MetaMask’s Dan Finlay indicating it would launch in Q3 2025.

MetaMask evolves from Ethereum to multi-chain support
Initially created to support the Ethereum ecosystem and EVM-compatible networks, MetaMask has been slowly expanding beyond this since 2025.
The company began with the integration of Solana in May, followed by Sei in August and Monad in November. While keeping its plans under wraps, it has hinted that additional networks will be integrated next year.
“The addition of Bitcoin marks the next phase in our multi-chain expansion, following the launches of Monad and Sei earlier this year, with more networks set to join in 2026,” MetaMask noted.
