MetaMask has integrated Bitcoin support into its wallet, allowing users to buy, swap, and transfer BTC directly. This feature is enabled through the wallet's multichain accounts, which automatically generate a Bitcoin address upon updating. Currently, the integration supports the native SegWit derivation path, with Taproot support anticipated in a future release. Users can purchase Bitcoin using local currency via various payment methods like credit cards or PayPal, and the built-in Swap feature allows moving funds from EVM networks or Solana to Bitcoin. This integration follows MetaMask's recent expansion to include networks like Monad and Sei.
