Popular Ethereum wallet MetaMask now supports Bitcoin, allowing users to buy, send, and receive the top crypto asset by market cap.
The rollout comes nearly a year after the wallet first announced it would introduce support for Bitcoin as it began its expansion beyond Ethereum.
“We’re excited to announce that Bitcoin is now supported on MetaMask. This means you can trade and manage BTC alongside Ethereum, Solana, Monad, and Sei assets, all inside your MetaMask wallet,” a statement from the company reads.
(Disclaimer: MetaMask is a product of Consensys, one of 22 investors in an editorially independent Decrypt ).
The network expansion comes amid a flurry of recent feature enhancements, as it seeks to stay near the top of a competitive wallet landscape.
In August, the wallet launched its own stablecoin—mUSD—launched on Ethereum and layer-2 scaling network, Linea. Then in October, it unveiled native support for swaps on Hyperliquid, allowing traders to easily make long or short bets on the popular perps DEX.
Earlier this month, it added a native Polymarket integration that allows users to place predictions on sports, crypto, and politics directly in-wallet.
With Bitcoin on MetaMask, you can:
✅ Buy BTC with fiat
✅ Send / receive BTC
✅ Swap EVM/SOL to/from BTC
✅ Manage everything under one Multichain Account

Now users can trade on BTC, earning access after they upgrade their MetaMask wallets to the latest version.
Once upgraded, those who make swaps into BTC in MetaMask will earn MetaMask reward points—part of a $30 million rewards program designed as long-term community support incentive ahead of the wallet’s native token launch.
Following the wallet’s Bitcoin expansion, it is expected to add additional networks in 2026.
Bitcoin was recently trading at $85,584—down 3.8% in the last 24 hours and now 32% off its all-time high of $126,080.
