According to reports from two informed sources cited by CoinDesk, MetaMask, the most widely used Ethereum-based wallet, plans to add support for Bitcoin (BTC). The exact timeline is not yet clear, but one source suggests that MetaMask may complete the integration within the next month.
Another source indicated that the specific Bitcoin features in MetaMask have not been determined yet, but initially, there may be limitations that will gradually expand over time.

MetaMask is developed by Consensys, a research and development company led by Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin. When asked about Bitcoin-related development plans, a spokesperson for MetaMask stated:
