AMBTS B.V. aims to become a “1% Bitcoin treasury company” amid rising European corporate adoption
Dutch cryptocurrency service provider Amdax has announced plans to launch a dedicated Bitcoin treasury company, with the ultimate goal of listing it on Euronext Amsterdam. The new entity, named AMBTS B.V., will operate independently with the ambitious aim of accumulating 1% of all Bitcoin in circulation.
According to Amdax, AMBTS will raise capital in stages, using proceeds to expand its Bitcoin holdings and increase equity value for investors. At current prices, reaching 1% of the total Bitcoin supply — roughly $24 billion worth — would place AMBTS among the largest global corporate holders of the asset.
Amdax, which became the first crypto service provider registered with the Dutch Central Bank in 2020, also secured a MiCA license from the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) earlier this year. The firm says the launch of AMBTS marks a strategic step toward making Bitcoin a core treasury asset in Europe.
Capital Raising and Investor Strategy
The company plans to start with a private investor financing round before moving to broader market offerings. Proceeds will be used to accelerate Bitcoin accumulation and build Bitcoin-per-share value for stakeholders.
Amdax currently offers 33 cryptocurrencies on its platform, along with automated investing tools and professionally managed portfolio strategies.
Growing Bitcoin Adoption in Europe
The announcement comes as more European companies embrace Bitcoin as a balance sheet reserve asset. Amdax 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.”
At least 15 European firms have disclosed Bitcoin holdings, including:
- Bitcoin Group (Germany) – 3,605 BTC
- Smarter Web Company (UK) – 2,395 BTC
- The Blockchain Group (France) – 1,653 BTC
- Satsuma Technology (UK) – 1,126 BTC
Other firms, such as Sweden’s H100 Group, Samara Asset Group, and CoinShares International, also hold smaller allocations.
By launching AMBTS, Amdax is positioning itself at the forefront of corporate Bitcoin adoption in Europe. If successful, its Euronext Amsterdam listing would mark a significant step in integrating Bitcoin into mainstream financial markets while offering investors new exposure to a treasury-backed BTC strategy.
