Catenaa, Tuesday, December 23, 2025- MetaMask has added native Bitcoin support, allowing users to buy with fiat, transfer onchain, and swap BTC with EVM-native assets and Solana, the company announced Monday.
The update is part of MetaMask’s broader multi-chain expansion, following prior integrations for Solana and other non-EVM networks via plugin Snap technology.
The wallet initially supports native SegWit addresses, with Taproot address compatibility planned for a future release.
MetaMask, a unit of Ethereum development studio Consensys, has also rolled out features including a Polymarket onramp, its mUSD stablecoin, and in-app perpetuals powered by Hyperliquid.
Users swapping into BTC will earn MetaMask Rewards points, tied to an upcoming MASK rewards program reportedly worth over $30 million in LINEA tokens.
The expansion aligns with Consensys’s IPO preparations and continued development of the Ethereum Layer 2 Linea network.
Earlier hints from the company suggested a focus on Bitcoin L2s, including BOB, Lightning Network, ordinals, and BRC-20s, reflecting MetaMask’s strategy to support diverse blockchain ecosystems.
The addition of Bitcoin functionality signals growing demand for multi-chain wallets that integrate top digital assets while enabling onchain activity and rewards programs.
MetaMask’s roadmap indicates further enhancements to bridge EVM and non-EVM networks for its user base.
