About Bitcoin (BTC)

Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first decentralized digital currency and the foundation of crypto’s global ecosystem. Created in 2009 by the pseudonymous developer Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin introduced a peer to peer payment system that eliminates the need for banks or intermediaries. Every Bitcoin transaction is verified and recorded on the blockchain, a transparent and immutable ledger accessible anywhere in the world.

Unlike traditional currencies controlled by central banks, Bitcoin operates on a limited supply model capped at 21 million coins, making it inherently scarce and deflationary. New BTC are issued through mining, a process where global participants use computational power to validate transactions and secure the blockchain. This proof‑of‑work (PoW) system ensures that Bitcoin remains secure, censorship resistant, and decentralized.

Often referred to as digital gold, Bitcoin is used worldwide as a store of value. It powers everything from direct payments to decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, and wrapped Bitcoin products (like WBTC and tBTC) that bring BTC liquidity into other blockchain ecosystems such as Ethereum and Solana.

As an open source network, Bitcoin’s development and governance are maintained by a distributed community of engineers, miners, and users. Network upgrades and optimizations are proposed through transparent Bitcoin Improvement Proposals (BIPs), preserving both technical stability and global neutrality.

BTC market moves

24h change: -3.33%. From $77,469.21 to $74,889.00.

Bitcoin broke below the $75,000 level in recent trading. This price action led to $45 million in long positions liquidated in 15 minutes and broader estimates of $30 billion wiped from the crypto market in 60 minutes. Selling pressure gauges have entered high-risk zones according to market data providers. These developments show current technical conditions that you can follow through price charts and liquidation trackers.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded approximately $1 billion in net outflows since the start of 2026 with a slump in demand during May. A whale executed a $1.29 billion sale of BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF shares in a dark pool. Capital appears to be rotating toward other cryptocurrencies and assets such as AI stocks and precious metals. You can use these flows to gauge institutional positioning in Bitcoin.
Banca Sella received approval as the first Italian bank under MiCA to offer Bitcoin and digital asset services to customers. White House crypto advisors described Bitcoin as a tool for modern statecraft and discussed the Clarity Act for broader industry rules. These steps create clearer legal pathways for banks and institutions. Such developments matter because they influence how easily you and other users can interact with Bitcoin through traditional channels.

SWAP NOW

Yes, you can use Bitcoin with MetaMask, but there are two different cases to understand.
- Native Bitcoin on MetaMask
As of 2025, MetaMask now supports native Bitcoin accounts, letting you buy, sell, trade, hold, send, and receive BTC directly on the network, inside the same wallet where you manage Ethereum and Solana accounts. So, you can generate a Bitcoin address inside MetaMask and transfer BTC from exchanges or other Bitcoin wallets straight to that address.
- Wrapped Bitcoin on EVM
Even before native BTC, MetaMask already supported Bitcoin exposure through wrapped assets like WBTC or other BTC-pegged ERC‑20 tokens on Ethereum and EVM chains. These wrapped tokens track Bitcoin’s price 1:1 and allow you to use its liquidity in DeFi apps, swaps, lending, and DEXs while still keeping MetaMask as your wallet.
You can buy Bitcoin (BTC) directly in your MetaMask wallet in seconds. MetaMask supports credit cards, debit cards, bank transfers, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, and local payment options based on your country or region worldwide, including the US, UK, EU, Türkiye, Japan, Korea, Venezuela, India, China, Taiwan, Brazil, Nigeria and more. This approach lets you skip extra steps and centralized exchanges, save on fees, and add Bitcoin (BTC) instantly and securely to your wallet.
You can swap Bitcoin (BTC) for thousands of tokens across hundreds of networks like Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, Linea, Base, and Arbitrum, right from your MetaMask wallet. Gas fees, AKA network fees, are included in every quote for complete transparency on the total cost. Just pick your input token, choose your output token, review the all-in rate, approve the transaction, and complete the swap in seconds.
You can easily bridge Bitcoin (BTC) across networks with MetaMask's Swap aggregator, which finds the fastest and cheapest routes available. MetaMask cross-network Swaps combine bridging and swapping into one transaction: Send Bitcoin from network A and receive a different token on network B without any wrapping required. This makes the process secure, simple, and cost-effective for users everywhere in the world.
