Popular Ethereum wallet MetaMask now supports Bitcoin, allowing users to buy, send, and receive the top crypto asset by market cap.

The rollout comes nearly a year after the wallet first announced it would introduce support for Bitcoin as it began its expansion beyond Ethereum.

“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,” a statement from the company reads.

(Disclaimer: MetaMask is a product of Consensys, one of 22 investors in an editorially independent Decrypt).

The network expansion comes amid a flurry of recent feature enhancements, as it seeks to stay near the top of a competitive wallet landscape.

In August, the wallet launched its own stablecoin—mUSD—launched on Ethereum and layer-2 scaling network, Linea. Then in October, it unveiled native support for swaps on Hyperliquid, allowing traders to easily make long or short bets on the popular perps DEX.

Earlier this month, it added a native Polymarket integration that allows users to place predictions on sports, crypto, and politics directly in-wallet.

Now users can trade on BTC, earning access after they upgrade their MetaMask wallets to the latest version.

Once upgraded, those who make swaps into BTC in MetaMask will earn MetaMask reward points—part of a $30 million rewards program designed as long-term community support incentive ahead of the wallet’s native token launch.

Following the wallet’s Bitcoin expansion, it is expected to add additional networks in 2026.

Bitcoin was recently trading at $85,584—down 3.8% in the last 24 hours and now 32% off its all-time high of $126,080.

Decrypt’s 2025 Person of the Year: President Donald Trump

A year ago, America’s top crypto executives had never stepped foot inside the White House. They had never mingled with the Treasury Secretary, or hosted top DOJ officials at swanky offsite summits—or passed a major federal law. They also had never seen the digital assets they helped create climb so high in value, or so quickly. These victories have many authors. But they all would have likely been impossible without the support of the president of the United States. In the last twelve months, P...

Bitcoin's Retreat to $85,000 Shifts Losses to New Entrants

Bitcoin’s Monday drop to $85,800 shows both new large investors and long-term holders are driving the selloff that has pressured prices for months. Unrealized losses for entities that have accumulated more than 1,000 BTC over the past 155 days have reached levels not seen since 2023. Old whales, who have held large stakes for longer, remain in profit. The profit/loss margin for wallets that bought Bitcoin over the past three months, meanwhile, has hit -25%, according to data from on-chain analyt...
