Overview
- Users who update to the latest version can buy, send, receive, and swap Bitcoin directly inside MetaMask, including swaps to and from assets on EVM networks and Solana.
- The update auto‑generates a Bitcoin address in multichain accounts, with native SegWit supported at launch and Taproot support planned.
- Swapping into BTC earns MetaMask Rewards points as part of a reported $30 million program linked to the wallet's forthcoming MASK token.
- Native BTC access removes the need for wrapped Bitcoin or Snaps plugins, reducing additional custodial and bridge assumptions.
- The launch follows 2025 integrations of Solana, Sei, and Monad, with more networks signaled for 2026, and MetaMask notes Bitcoin confirmations will typically take longer than EVM or Solana transactions.
