Hello, I'm considering adding
Bitcoin (BTC) to my Metamask wallet, but I'm not entirely sure if it's possible or how to do it securely. Could you please clarify if Metamask supports Bitcoin and if so, what are the steps I should follow to ensure a smooth and secure addition? I've heard about Ethereum-based tokens, but I'm specifically interested in Bitcoin and how it can be integrated into my existing Metamask wallet setup. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Currently, individuals seeking to add native Bitcoin (BTC) to their Metamask wallet encounter a limitation.

The primary reason for this constraint is that the Bitcoin network is not designed to be compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).

Metamask, a popular wallet solution, is specifically tailored to interface with EVM-compatible blockchains.

Without EVM compatibility, the Bitcoin blockchain cannot be integrated into the Metamask ecosystem.

This incompatibility results in users being unable to directly manage their BTC holdings through the Metamask interface.
