Cryptocurrency wallet giant MetaMask has announced that it has added support for Bitcoin, hinting that more blockchain integrations will be rolled out next year.
MetaMask announced the rollout on social media on Monday, ten months after it first teased in February, revealing that Bitcoin (BTC) has now joined the ranks of supported assets from the Ethereum, Solana, Monad and Sei blockchains.
“Any Bitcoin transactions you make will appear in your asset list once confirmed. Remember: Bitcoin transactions are typically slower than those on EVM or Solana networks,” MetaMask said.
This move allows users to buy BTC, exchange for BTC, send and receive BTC, with users being incentivized to employ the asset, and any exchanges for BTC allow people to earn MetaMask reward points.
Previously, MetaMask users could only access BTC through wrapped versions of the asset.
BTC integration was first discussed in February, and MetaMask’s Dan Finlay suggested it would launch in the third quarter of 2025.

MetaMask is moving from pure Ethereum to multichain
Initially developed to support the Ethereum ecosystem and EVM-compatible networks, MetaMask will gradually expand beyond this scope in 2025.
MetaMask began integrating with Solana in May, followed by Sei in August and Monad in November. The company is keeping its cards close to its chest, but has signaled that more networks will be added next year.
“Bitcoin support is the latest step in our multi-chain expansion, following the launch of Monad and Sei earlier this year, with additional chains arriving in 2026.” – said MetaMask.
