MetaMask has a reputation for being a crypto wallet platform that supports tokens in the Ethereum network. However, this wallet has been expanding its multi-blockchain support by adding native support for Bitcoin.
This is announced on MetaMask’s social media platforms on 16/12/2025. “BITCOIN HAS ENTERED THE CHAT. MetaMask now supports BTC.”
Previously, MetaMask only provided access to wrapped versions of BTC. This process requires a third-party intermediary and carries smart contract risks.
Now, users can buy Bitcoin, swap other tokens to BTC, as well as send and receive BTC. Confirmed transactions will automatically appear in their asset list.
With this integration, MetaMask now supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Monad, and Sei.
Despite that, MetaMask reminds users that Bitcoin transfers are sllower than transactions on EVM-compatible blockchains or Solana.
Bitcoin’s addition highlights MetaMask’s commitment to repositioning its platform as a multichain wallet, not just an Ethereum-only platform.
This transition began in May this year, when MetaMask added support for Solana, followed by Sei integration last August and Monad in November.
MetaMask also hinted that they planned to add support for more blockchain networks in 2026.
Beyond supporting popular coins, MetaMask also has plans to launch its own native token.
Joe Lubin, the CEO of Consensys, MetaMask’s parent company, revealed on 19/09/2025, “The Mask token is coming. It may come sooner than you would expect right now.”
