Sui to Bitcoin bridge
Sui and Bitcoin are not directly connected. You swap SUI or USDC on Sui into native BTC paid to your Bitcoin address. NEAR Intents and instant exchanges such as ChangeNOW and SideShift do it in one step, aggregators like Rango and Squid compare routes, and exchanges suit large amounts. Keep a little SUI for gas.

Short answer
You send from a Sui wallet such as Slush, Suiet or Phantom, with an address starting with 0x, and receive on a Bitcoin address, usually starting with bc1.
Wrapped BTC tokens exist on Sui, but if you want real bitcoin in your own Bitcoin wallet you need a route that pays out native BTC.

Why this route is difficult
Sui is a Non-EVM chain and Bitcoin has no smart contracts, so no bridge links them directly. Every route is a swap paid out on Bitcoin.
Sui addresses look like EVM addresses but are longer. Do not mix them with Ethereum addresses.
