(AMBTS), with the goal of listing it on Euronext Amsterdam.<\/p>\n<h2>Amdax Unveils Bitcoin Treasury Firm<\/h2>\n<p>In a move that underscores the growing trend of European companies embracing Bitcoin strategies, Dutch crypto services provider Amdax revealed it is laying the groundwork for a dedicated Bitcoin treasury company to be listed on Amsterdam\u2019s Euronext stock exchange.<\/p>\n<p>AMBTS will operate as a privately held company with an independent governance structure and a singular focus on BTC accumulation. The company aims to acquire as much as 1% of the total Bitcoin supply, raising capital from private investors in stages to achieve that ambitious target.<\/p>\n<p>At current market prices, holding 1% of Bitcoin\u2019s supply \u2013 roughly 210,000 BTC \u2013 would require an investment of approximately $24 billion. Presently, only Strategy holds more than 1% of the supply, with 628,946 BTC on its balance sheet.<\/p>\n<p>Amdax emphasized Bitcoin\u2019s low correlation with traditional asset classes as a key driver of institutional interest. The firm noted that persistent inflation, geopolitical instability, and increasing regulatory clarity have strengthened BTC\u2019s appeal, reflected in its recent price performance.<\/p>\n<p>According to Amdax, proceeds from the initial financing round will be used to \u201cmake a head start with the BTC accumulation strategy,\u201d which the firm expects will also boost its equity value over time.<\/p>\n<p>For background, Amdax has been operating as a licensed cryptocurrency services provider for more than five years. In 2020, it became the first Dutch crypto company to register with the Dutch Central Bank (DCB). Commenting on the development, Lucas Wensing, CEO of Amdax, said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>While Bitcoin has been the best performing major asset in the past 10 years with fast adoption as digital capital, it is still relatively small in investment portfolios. With now over 10% of BTC 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.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>BTC Adoption In Europe Gaining Momentum<\/h2>\n<p>Although European companies were initially hesitant to embrace BTC, many are now <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/sequans-adds-1264-bitcoin-to-balance-sheet-amid-growing-corporate-interest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">warming up<\/a> to the cryptocurrency. A supportive regulatory environment and growing institutional adoption in the US have contributed to Europe\u2019s shifting stance toward digital assets.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, UK-based firm The Smarter Web Company recently <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-uk-smarter-web-company-225-btc-holdings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">expanded<\/a> its cryptocurrency holdings to 1,825 BTC after purchasing an additional 225 BTC. Similarly, Satsuma Technology, also based in the UK, <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/uk-based-satsuma-technology-raises-135-million-to-accelerate-bitcoin-purchases\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">raised<\/a> $135 million to increase its BTC exposure.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Norway\u2019s sovereign wealth fund <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/norway-wealth-fund-indirect-bitcoin-844-million-192\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">disclosed<\/a> that its indirect BTC exposure rose 192% year-on-year, highlighting the increasing role of BTC in European institutional portfolios. At press time, BTC trades at $116,100, down 1.8% in the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-559392 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bitcoin_d9dcd1.png?resize=980%2C642\" alt=\"bitcoin\" width=\"980\" height=\"642\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bitcoin_d9dcd1.png?w=2648 2648w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bitcoin_d9dcd1.png?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bitcoin_d9dcd1.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bitcoin_d9dcd1.png?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bitcoin_d9dcd1.png?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bitcoin_d9dcd1.png?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bitcoin_d9dcd1.png?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bitcoin_d9dcd1.png?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leading Netherlands-based crypto services firm Amdax today announced plans to launch a Bitcoin (BTC) treasury company called AMBTS B.V.
