Amdax AMBTS: Bitcoin Treasury Aiming for 1% Supply

Amsterdam-based Amdax has announced it will launch AMBTS B.V., a treasury company of Bitcoin, which it intends to list on Euronext Amsterdam. The project demonstrates the desire of the firm to offer institutional investors in Europe regulated exposure to the top crypto.

Amdax AMBTS has a long-term goal of holding 1% of the BTC supply in circulation, or over 210,000 BTC. This would need more than $24 billion in capital at the present market price of $115,000 a BTC.

Crypto Strategy and Capital Raising Plans

Amdax stated that AMBTS will increase capital in phases with the help of private financing rounds and then enter the public markets. The funds will be used progressively to build up Bitcoin with a minimum of disruption in the market.

As the holdings increase, the company will look to increase the equity value and Bitcoin-per-share values of these investments on behalf of investors.

In an announcement, CEO Lucas Wensing said, “With now over 10% of Bitcoin supply held by corporations, governments and institutions, we think the time is right to establish a Bitcoin treasury company with the aim to obtain a listing on Euronext Amsterdam.”

AMBTS will be a stand-alone company with its own governance but will enjoy the benefit of Amdax infrastructure. The firm stressed that it will target institutional investors with a regulated and transparent vehicle to get exposure to BTC.

Market Context and European Crypto Adoption

In 2025, Bitcoin is up 31%, hitting new all-time highs with more positive regulation and institutionalisation. Demand has also been driven by U.S. political changes, such as the reelection of President Donald Trump and his support of digital assets.

In Europe, more than 15 companies have shown crypto holdings in their balance sheets. These are Bitcoin Group of Germany with 3,605 BTC, Smarter Web Company of the UK with 2,395 BTC and The Blockchain Group of France with 1,653 BTC.

Smaller allocations are held by other European companies, including CoinShares International, Aker ASA and Phoenix Digital Assets. Taken together, the disclosures reflect increasing comfort about the use of crypto as a corporate reserve asset in the region.

Compliance and Regulatory Framework

Since 2020, Amdax has been a regulated digital asset provider, as it became the first Dutch crypto company registered with the central bank. The firm currently holds a license by the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) issued in June 2025 under the MiCAR.

The company has effective governance and risk management, which is backed up by ISAE 3000 Type II audit reports. Amdax said that AMBTS will assume the same standards of compliance and operate within a structure to satisfy European investor needs.

The firm highlighted that compliance will form the core of its treasury operations, as it will be in line with the current European financial regulations. Wensing stated that this will give institutional investors new financial instruments to gain exposure to the performance of Bitcoin.
