MetaMask Adds Native Bitcoin Support to Multichain Wallet

Published at 2025-12-17 21:45:07

MetaMask, the self‑custodial wallet developed by Consensys, announced on Dec. 17, 2025 that it has added native Bitcoin support. Users can now manage, transfer and trade BTC directly in the MetaMask app alongside ETH and other blockchain assets, eliminating the need for separate Bitcoin wallets or custodial services for basic BTC operations.

The move brings Bitcoin into a widely used multichain interface, which could streamline on‑ramps and cross‑chain workflows for retail users and developers. By keeping private keys user‑controlled, MetaMask maintains its noncustodial stance while expanding asset coverage—an incremental step that may increase Bitcoin activity within multichain wallets and simplify access to emerging cross‑chain services and DeFi integrations.
