MetaMask Rolls Out Native Bitcoin Support in December 2025 Multichain Expansion

On 16 December 2025, MetaMask launched native Bitcoin support, allowing users to buy, send, receive, and swap BTC directly within the wallet. The update reduces reliance on wrapped Bitcoin and aligns with a broader push toward chain-agnostic wallets that unify access to multiple blockchain ecosystems. This move is part of MetaMask's ongoing multichain strategy, positioning the wallet as a neutral interface rather than an Ethereum-only gateway.
