The MetaMask wallet has announced support for Bitcoin $BTC , expanding the service's functionality beyond the Ethereum ecosystem $ETH . The launch occurred ten months after the first announcement and marks another step for the company towards a multi-chain strategy.

MetaMask reported the launch of cryptocurrency support on December 15, 2025. The company confirmed that users can now directly interact with the asset — buying, exchanging, sending, and receiving without the use of wrapped tokens.

The company clarified that all transactions with Bitcoin will be displayed in the asset list after the transaction is confirmed. At the same time, the developers reminded that transactions on this network are usually processed slower than on networks #EVM or #Solana .

The support for the asset is a continuation of the project's course from an Ethereum wallet to a multi-chain platform. In recent months, MetaMask added support for Solana, then integrated $SEI and Monad, and also launched prediction markets in collaboration with Polymarket.
