MetaMask now supports Bitcoin transactions, enhancing multi-chain asset management capabilities.

This implementation comes nearly a year after the wallet first announced support for Bitcoin and its expansion beyond Ethereum.

“We are excited to announce that Bitcoin is now compatible with MetaMask. This means you can trade and manage BTC as well as assets like Ethereum, Solana, Monad, and Sei within the MetaMask wallet,” the company stated in a release.

This network expansion occurs amid a series of recent feature improvements, as MetaMask strives to maintain its leading wallet position in a highly competitive market.

In August, the wallet launched its own stablecoin mUSD, which runs on Ethereum and the Layer 2 scaling network Linea. Then in October, it announced native support for Hyperliquid, enabling traders to easily go long or short on the popular perpetual contract DEX.

Earlier this month, native integration with Polymarket was also added, allowing users to directly make sports, cryptocurrency, and political predictions through the wallet.

Users can now trade BTC and gain access after updating MetaMask to the latest version.

Post-update, users exchanging BTC on MetaMask will receive MetaMask reward points as part of a $30 million incentive program designed to provide long-term support incentives for the community before the native token launch.

Following the expansion to Bitcoin, MetaMask is expected to add support for other networks by 2026.

Bitcoin’s recent trading price is $85,584, down 3.8% in the past 24 hours, currently 32% below the all-time high of $126,080.
