I know that metals have the capability to lose electrons and form anionscations, but is it also theoretically possible to supply an electron to a metal so that it forms an anion?

If so, has it ever been done?

I referred this question (Can two metals combine to form a compound?) but could not get a satisfactory solution from that.
