You can now store Bitcoin in your MetaMask wallet

MetaMask announced Bitcoin support on Monday via social media, ten months after teasing it in February 2025. The Ethereum-focused wallet now enables users to buy, swap, send, and receive Bitcoin directly, extending compatibility across Ethereum, Solana, Monad, and Sei blockchains.

The rollout positions Bitcoin as a supported asset within MetaMask. Transactions involving Bitcoin appear in the user’s asset list after confirmation. MetaMask stated, “Any Bitcoin transactions you make will appear in your asset list once confirmed. Remember: Bitcoin transactions are typically slower than those on EVM or Solana networks.” This difference arises from Bitcoin’s distinct consensus mechanism and block times compared to the faster processing on Ethereum Virtual Machine chains or Solana.
