MetaMask has officially announced support for the Bitcoin network. Users can now store, swap, and transfer the asset within a single interface alongside tokens from the Ethereum, Solana, Monad, and Sei ecosystems.
The feature activates automatically once the app is updated to the latest version.
The wallet generates a Bitcoin address in the Native SegWit format. Developers plan to add support for the Taproot upgrade in the near future.
Built-in tools allow users to buy cryptocurrency with fiat via bank cards, Apple Pay, or PayPal, though payment availability varies by region.
“The Swap feature enables direct asset exchanges from EVM networks and Solana to Bitcoin,” the statement reads. Users can also receive transfers from centralized exchanges or third-party wallets. All transactions appear in the main asset list, with processing speeds dependent on Bitcoin mempool congestion.
Multichain Expansion
The Bitcoin integration marks the next step in the wallet’s scaling strategy. Earlier this year, the team added support for the Monad and Sei networks, with more blockchains scheduled for 2026.
The rollout comes as speculation mounts regarding a potential native ecosystem token. In late October, on-chain researchers discovered a domain linked to the MASK ticker.
This discovery coincided with the launch of the MetaMask Rewards incentive program, featuring a $30 M prize pool.
The system awards points for swaps, cross-chain transfers, and activity on ConsenSys’ Linea network. Analysts view these points as a likely criterion for a future governance token airdrop, though the team has not confirmed any asset distribution timelines.
