Crypto 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, 10 months after first announcing it in February, revealing that Bitcoin (BTC) has joined the ranks of assets supported on the Ethereum, Solana, Monad, and Sei blockchains.
“Bitcoin transactions you make will appear in your asset list once they are confirmed. Remember: Bitcoin transactions are typically slower than transactions on the EVM or Solana networks,” Metamask said.
This move allows users to buy BTC, swap to BTC, send and receive BTC, incentivizes users to spend their assets and earn MetaMask reward points by swapping to BTC.
Prior to this, MetaMask users could only access BTC through a wrapped version of the asset.
BTC consolidation was first discussed in February, with MetaMask’s Dan Finley suggesting it would be implemented in Q3 of 2025.

MetaMask goes from just Ethereum to multichain
MetaMask was initially developed to support the Ethereum ecosystem and EVM compatible networks, but is gradually expanding beyond this in 2025.
MetaMask began with Solana integration in May, followed by Sei in August and Monad in November. The company is keeping its cards close to its chest, but has hinted 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 more networks to come in 2026,” Metamask said.
