Why Can't I Open The BitLocker Drive On My MacBook Pro?

My MacBook Pro says the disk you inserted was not readable by this computer. It is a Bitlocker protected portable drive. What should I do in order to open this Bitlocker encrypted drive on my Mac Catalina?

With iBoysoft BitLocker for Mac, you can open BitLocker USB drive on Mac then:
