Dutch Firm Amdax Plans Bitcoin Treasury Listing on Euronext Amsterdam

Amsterdam, Netherlands — Dutch cryptocurrency service provider Amdax is preparing to launch a dedicated Bitcoin treasury company on the Euronext Amsterdam stock exchange, joining a growing wave of European firms adopting Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset.

On Monday, Amdax announced the creation of AMBTS B.V., a privately held, independently governed firm that will operate as a stand-alone Bitcoin treasury company. The initiative aims to position AMBTS as a “1% Bitcoin treasury company” — with the ambitious goal of eventually accumulating 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply.

At current market prices, with Bitcoin trading above $115,800, this target would require over $24 billion worth of BTC.

Capital Raising Strategy

To achieve this, AMBTS plans to raise capital in stages through the markets, expanding Bitcoin holdings, increasing equity value, and boosting Bitcoin-per-share metrics for investors. Amdax noted that the company will start with private investors in its initial financing round, with proceeds directed toward accelerating the accumulation of BTC.

Regulatory Milestones

Founded in 2020, Amdax was the first crypto service provider registered with the Dutch Central Bank, and more recently, among the first in the Netherlands to receive a MiCA license from the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM).

The Amdax platform currently offers trading in 33 cryptocurrencies, as well as automated investing and portfolio strategies managed by experts.

Corporate Bitcoin Adoption in Europe

Lucas Wensing, CEO of Amdax, emphasized that over 10% of Bitcoin’s supply is now held by corporations, governments, and institutions, calling this “the right time to establish a Bitcoin treasury company with a European listing.”

Across Europe, at least 15 companies have publicly disclosed Bitcoin holdings on their balance sheets. Major examples include:

• 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 European firms with smaller allocations include Sweden’s H100 Group, Samara Asset Group, CoinShares International, Aker ASA (Norway), and others.

Global Adoption Trends

Bitcoin’s performance continues to drive adoption, having risen over 26,900% in the last decade, vastly outperforming traditional assets such as the S&P 500 (+193%), gold (+125%), and crude oil (+4.3%), according to CoinGecko.

In Asia, Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has spearheaded corporate Bitcoin adoption, recently adding 775 BTC worth $89 million to its reserves, bringing total holdings above 18,888 BTC ($2.1 billion). Despite a recent stock pullback, Metaplanet’s shares have surged nearly 190% year-to-date, far outpacing Japan’s blue-chip TOPIX Core 30 index.
