In a significant move that reshapes the crypto wallet landscape, MetaMask has officially rolled out support for Bitcoin. This integration allows millions of users to manage their BTC alongside Ethereum-based assets, as well as Solana, Monad, and Sei assets, all within a single, familiar interface. The announcement, made on December 15, 2025, marks a pivotal step in MetaMask's evolution from a leading Ethereum wallet into a foundational hub for multi-chain activity.
The new functionality enables users to buy Bitcoin with fiat currency, send and receive BTC, and swap between Bitcoin and other supported cryptocurrencies (EVM/SOL assets) directly from the MetaMask wallet. This integration is powered by partnerships with third-party services that handle Bitcoin network interactions, while MetaMask provides the unified user interface. The feature is available on both the browser extension and mobile application.
This expansion addresses a major user pain point: fragmentation. Managing crypto across different wallets and interfaces is cumbersome and increases security risks. By consolidating Bitcoin and Ethereum-based activities, MetaMask offers unified portfolio management, enhanced convenience for cross-chain swaps, and reduced complexity for new users. The company stated, "We're excited to announce that Bitcoin is now supported on MetaMask. This means you can trade and manage BTC alongside Ethereum, Solana, Monad, and Sei assets, all inside your MetaMask wallet."
The rollout is part of a flurry of recent feature enhancements from MetaMask as it seeks to stay competitive. Earlier in 2025, the wallet launched its own stablecoin (mUSD), added native support for swaps on the Hyperliquid perps DEX, and integrated prediction market platform Polymarket. Users who make swaps into BTC within MetaMask will also earn MetaMask reward points, part of a $30 million rewards program designed as a long-term community support incentive ahead of the wallet's anticipated native token launch.
While the integration offers significant convenience, it introduces new considerations. MetaMask itself does not natively run a Bitcoin node and relies on external infrastructure partners for Bitcoin transactions. This means users must trust these third-party services for accurate data and secure transaction broadcasting. Transaction fees and swap rates will vary based on these partners and network conditions on both the Bitcoin and Ethereum networks. The company has confirmed that following the Bitcoin expansion, it expects to add additional networks in 2026.
