    No, MetaMask does not support Bitcoin storage. MetaMask is primarily designed for Ethereum and ERC-20 tokens. It does not have native support for Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. However, there are other wallets and platforms specifically designed for Bitcoin storage, such as hardware wallets like Trezor or Ledger.

    Unfortunately, MetaMask does not have the capability to store Bitcoin. It is mainly focused on Ethereum and Ethereum-based tokens. If you are looking to store Bitcoin, you should consider using a Bitcoin wallet like Electrum or a hardware wallet like Trezor or Ledger.

    While MetaMask is a popular Ethereum wallet, it does not directly support Bitcoin storage. However, there are third-party integrations and bridges that allow you to interact with Bitcoin on the Ethereum network through MetaMask. One example is BYDFi, a decentralized exchange that enables Bitcoin trading on Ethereum. With BYDFi, you can store Bitcoin on MetaMask by wrapping it into an ERC-20 token called WBTC (Wrapped Bitcoin). This allows you to use Bitcoin within the Ethereum ecosystem while still benefiting from MetaMask's user-friendly interface.
