MetaMask adds Bitcoin support after teasing it 10 months ago

Cointelegraph
MetaMask now supports Bitcoin, allowing users to buy, swap, send, and receive BTC directly within the wallet, expanding its multichain capabilities.

Summary

MetaMask has officially added support for Bitcoin, a move long anticipated after being teased ten months ago. Users can now directly buy, swap, send, and receive Bitcoin within the popular Ethereum-focused wallet, joining assets already supported from Ethereum, Solana, Monad, and Sei blockchains. Transactions will appear in the asset list once confirmed, though MetaMask notes they are typically slower than those on EVM or Solana networks. Users are incentivized to use Bitcoin through MetaMask reward points for swaps. This integration marks a significant step in MetaMask's multichain expansion, with more networks planned for 2026, following previous integrations with Solana, Sei, and Monad.
