Introducing Bitcoin on MetaMask
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.

How do I get started with Bitcoin?

Update to the latest version of MetaMask, and a Bitcoin address will automatically be generated for you within our multichain accounts. 
Note: MetaMask currently supports the native SegWit derivation path and support for Taproot will be added soon. 

What can I do with Bitcoin on MetaMask?

Buy Bitcoin (BTC): Tap the Buy button on your home screen to purchase BTC with local currency or payment methods. Payment availability options vary by region, and include: a debit card, credit card, Apple Pay, PayPal or bank account.
Swap to BTC: Use MetaMask’s built in Swap feature to move funds from EVM networks or Solana to Bitcoin. 
Send & receive BTC: Copy your Bitcoin address, located under your account name, to receive BTC from exchanges like Binance or Coinbase, or to transfer assets from another wallet. 
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. 
Bitcoin support marks the latest step in our multichain expansion, following the launch of Monad and Sei earlier this year, with more networks to come in 2026. 
Ready to trade BTC? Update MetaMask now and get started.
