MetaMask has officially added native Bitcoin support to its wallet, marking a significant milestone in its push toward becoming a fully multichain platform.
As of December 15, 2025, users can now buy, hold, send, receive, and swap Bitcoin (BTC) directly within MetaMask, alongside assets from Ethereum, Solana, Monad, and Sei.
According to MetaMask, users who update to the latest version of the wallet will automatically receive a Bitcoin address within their multichain accounts.
The wallet currently supports Bitcoin’s native SegWit derivation path, while support for Taproot, Bitcoin’s newer upgrade designed to improve privacy and efficiency, is expected to be added in the near future.
The new integration allows users to purchase Bitcoin directly from the MetaMask interface by tapping the “Buy” button on the home screen.
BTC can be purchased using local currencies through a variety of payment methods, including debit cards, credit cards, Apple Pay, PayPal, and bank transfers, depending on regional availability.
In addition to direct purchases, MetaMask users can swap assets from EVM-compatible networks or Solana into Bitcoin using the wallet’s built-in Swap feature. This removes the need to rely on centralized exchanges or third-party bridges for cross-chain conversions.
Users can also send and receive BTC by copying their Bitcoin address from within MetaMask. The wallet supports transfers from major exchanges such as Binance and Coinbase, as well as from other Bitcoin wallets.
Once confirmed on the Bitcoin network, transactions will appear in the user’s asset list. MetaMask noted that Bitcoin transactions typically take longer to confirm compared to those on EVM or Solana-based networks.
The addition of Bitcoin follows MetaMask’s recent support for Monad and Sei earlier this year and underscores its broader multichain strategy.
The company said more blockchain networks are expected to be added in 2026, as MetaMask continues to evolve beyond its Ethereum-focused origins.
With Bitcoin now supported, MetaMask aims to simplify asset management across major blockchain ecosystems within a single wallet experience.
