Crypto wallet leader MetaMask has officially added support for Bitcoin, signaling plans for further blockchain integrations in 2026.
The announcement came on social media Monday, ten months after MetaMask first teased the feature in February. Bitcoin now joins other supported assets from Ethereum, Solana, Monad, and Sei blockchains.
“Any Bitcoin transactions you make will appear in your asset list once confirmed. Keep in mind: Bitcoin transactions are generally slower than those on EVM or Solana networks,” MetaMask noted.
The update allows users to buy, swap, send, and receive BTC, with additional incentives: swaps into Bitcoin will earn MetaMask reward points for users.
Before this update, MetaMask users could only access Bitcoin through wrapped versions of the asset.
The BTC integration was first hinted at in February, with MetaMask co-founder Dan Finlay suggesting it would launch in the third quarter of 2025.
MetaMask expands from Ethereum to multichain
Originally built for the Ethereum ecosystem and EVM-compatible networks, MetaMask has steadily broadened its reach in 2025. The wallet added Solana support in May, followed by Sei in August and Monad in November. While the company has remained tight-lipped about future plans, it has confirmed that additional networks will be added next year.
“Bitcoin support represents the latest step in our multichain expansion, following the launch of Monad and Sei earlier this year, with more networks planned for 2026,” MetaMask said.
