MetaMask today added Bitcoin support, allowing users to buy, swap, and transfer the digital asset within its wallet application.

The update automatically generates a Bitcoin address for users who upgrade to the latest version of MetaMask through its multichain accounts feature. The wallet currently supports the native SegWit derivation path, with Taproot support planned for future release.

Users can purchase Bitcoin directly through the app’s Buy button using local currency or various payment methods including debit cards, credit cards, Apple Pay, PayPal, or bank accounts, though availability varies by region. The wallet’s built-in Swap feature enables users to move funds from EVM networks or Solana to Bitcoin.

The Bitcoin integration follows MetaMask’s multichain expansion that included the launch of Monad and Sei earlier this year, with additional networks planned for 2026.
