- MetaMask has officially added native Bitcoin support — meaning users can now buy, send, receive, and swap Bitcoin directly inside the wallet without needing wrapped versions (like WBTC).
- This is significant because BTC now joins other major assets already supported in MetaMask, such as Ethereum, Solana, Monad, and Sei, expanding the wallet far beyond its original Ethereum‑only roots.
- The rollout was announced recently on social media, and follows long‑standing hints from the team about multichain support.
With this update, users can:
- Hold and manage real Bitcoin (not just wrapped versions).
- Buy BTC directly through MetaMask’s in‑wallet fiat on‑ramp tools.
- Swap or trade BTC alongside other assets like ETH and SOL.
- Seamlessly send/receive BTC using standard Bitcoin wallet addresses.
This makes MetaMask one of the first
truly multichain self‑custodial wallets where Bitcoin and other major chains can be managed side‑by‑side.
Part of a Larger Multichain Expansion
MetaMask’s Bitcoin rollout is
part of a broader strategic shift:
- The wallet has already added Solana support, marking its first non‑EVM blockchain integration earlier in 2025.
- It supports multiple networks now in a unified interface, letting users manage a range of assets and chains without switching wallets.
- More blockchain integrations are teased for the future, potentially including additional major chains and ecosystems as MetaMask evolves.
Why This Matters
For Users
- You no longer need separate wallets for BTC and other tokens — MetaMask becomes a single hub for your crypto portfolio.
For Adoption
- Adding Bitcoin — the most widely held cryptocurrency — lowers friction for new and existing users entering DeFi and Web3.
For Web3 & Wallet Competition
- MetaMask now competes more directly with multichain wallets like Trust Wallet and Phantom by supporting assets across Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin and more in one place.
In Summary
- Native Bitcoin support is live in MetaMask — buy, send, swap, and manage BTC in your wallet.
- This move marks a major step in MetaMask’s multichain expansion strategy, joining Ethereum, Solana, Monad, and Sei.
- More blockchain integrations are expected in the future as MetaMask evolves into a cross‑chain self‑custodial wallet.
