Bitcoin

Bitcoin is a decentralized cryptocurrency that allows users to send, receive, and store value securely without banks or intermediaries. It runs on blockchain technology and operates 24/7 across the globe.

Bitcoin uses blockchain, a shared digital ledger, to record transactions. Miners validate blocks through proof‑of‑work (PoW) and are rewarded with BTC for maintaining the network’s security.

Bitcoin’s scarcity, decentralization, and resistance to inflation make it valuable as both an investment asset and a global store of value.

Only 21 million BTC will ever exist, a design that ensures predictable supply and prevents over‑issuance.

Yes. Through bridges and wrapped tokens, you can use Bitcoin on Ethereum, Solana, and Layer 2 DeFi ecosystems. Examples include WBTC and tBTC, which are both backed 1:1 by real BTC.

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.
