How much is known to me that is not possible because they use different format of wallets.Only way is to import private keys from Multibit to Bitcoin Core.To do that you first need export them form Multibit and keys must not be encrypted,then you can import private keys in Bitcoin Core.

Follow this procedure in Bitcoin-QT : Select Help - Select Debug Window - Select Console -  input box type importprivkey <your key>.

If you only have Multibit wallet.dat file you will need first to load that file in Multibit wallet in order to export private keys.

Hi Lucius,

That is great. Thank you for your answer.
One more question though. The multibit.key file contains 4 lines of keys.
Which key should I give to the "importprivkeY" command?

you should do all four of them to be safe... unfortunately, the export file doesn't tell you what address each key belongs to, so it is a bit difficult to figure out which one(s) has your bitcoins.

There is no "harm" in importing all four.

Thank you Lucius
It seems to be working fine.
I see the right Transactions but the Balance zero as it still synchronizing.
Thanks again

You're welcome

Since blockchain size is almost 150 GB it now only depends on your internet speed to wallet is fully sync.Regarding private keys HCP gave you an answer and I hope you import all your private keys so you can get control on total amount of BTC you have in MultiBit wallet.
