Amsterdam Firm Amdax Targets 1% Bitcoin Supply via New Treasury Company

Amsterdam-based crypto service provider Amdax announced plans to launch a Bitcoin treasury company called AMBTS (Amsterdam Bitcoin Treasury Strategy) and seek a listing on Euronext Amsterdam.

Amdax revealed the plan on August 18, stating that AMBTS will raise capital from private investors and function as a dedicated Bitcoin treasury vehicle. The company aims to pursue admission to trading on Euronext Amsterdam.

AMBTS aims to own at least 1% of the total Bitcoin supply as its long-term target. The company will begin operations with an initial financing round from private investors before pursuing the stock exchange listing.

“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, as one of the leading exchanges in Europe,” said Amdax CEO Lucas Wensing.

Bitcoin has gained nearly 32% year-to-date and reached new record highs this month. The cryptocurrency’s price performance has provided favorable conditions for companies planning capital raises tied to the digital asset.

Amdax cited the growing institutional ownership of Bitcoin as a rationale for creating a listed treasury vehicle. Data shows corporations, governments and institutions now control more than 10% of all Bitcoin in circulation.

The planned AMBTS listing would join other Bitcoin-focused corporate strategies that have emerged alongside increased institutional participation in cryptocurrency markets. Regulatory developments and broader acceptance of digital assets have supported market conditions in 2025.

Euronext Amsterdam ranks among Europe’s major stock exchanges. The Dutch exchange has seen growing interest from companies seeking to capitalize on cryptocurrency exposure through public markets.

Amdax operates as a cryptocurrency service provider from its Amsterdam headquarters. The company’s announcement comes as institutional adoption of Bitcoin continues to accelerate across traditional finance sectors.

The AMBTS structure represents a dedicated approach to Bitcoin treasury management, separate from Amdax’s existing crypto services business. Private investor funding will provide the initial capital base before the planned public listing proceeds.
