Amsterdam-based crypto services provider Amdax launches AMBTS to list Bitcoin treasury on Euronext Amsterdam

Amsterdam-based crypto services provider launches a Bitcoin treasury company, aiming for Euronext Amsterdam listing.

Amsterdam-based Amxdax, a crypto services provider, announced that it has initiated AMBTS B.V. with the intention of listing a Bitcoin treasury company on Euronext Amsterdam.

AMBTS is built for institutional investors that want bitcoin exposure through a regulated, European structure. Over time, AMBTS aims to become a 1 per cent Bitcoin treasury company.

With rising inflation, geopolitical uncertainty, and clearer regulations, more people are interested in Bitcoin, especially since it doesn’t move in tandem with other assets.

This growing interest has led institutions and governments to include Bitcoin in their portfolios. For Europe, developing its own digital asset industry is essential to staying competitive in this fast-changing market.

Amdax, being a regulated and experienced player, believes it can successfully set up a Bitcoin treasury company in the EU to compete with others worldwide.

Operates with robust compliance and risk framework

Amdax has been operating a fully licensed digital asset practice for over 5 years, having made significant investments in regulation and operates with a robust compliance and risk framework.

In 2020, Amdax became the first crypto service provider in the Netherlands to register with the Dutch Central Bank (DNB).

Since then, Amdax has taken major steps in governance, risk control, and independent oversight, including completion of ISAE 3000 type II audits.

Received MiCAR license

More recently, Amdax was among the first crypto-asset service providers to receive its MiCAR license from the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM).

With this license, Amdax complies with the new European regulation for crypto markets: the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR). 

AMBTS will operate as a stand-alone company with a focused corporate strategy.

It will benefit from Amdax’s capabilities while maintaining an arms-length relationship. A private limited company has been formed.

AMBTS plans to raise capital from private investors in an initial financing round. Proceeds are expected to jump-start its bitcoin accumulation strategy, subject to definitive documentation and customary closing conditions.

The company is in advanced preparations for an initial public offering on Euronext Amsterdam.

To become 1% treasury

Following the listing, the long-term ambition of AMBTS is to grow its business operations to become a 1 per cent treasury, owning at least 1 per cent of all bitcoin over time.

It plans to use capital markets to boost its bitcoin holdings, which will help increase the value of shares and the amount of bitcoin each shareholder has, depending on market conditions.

Amdax: Crypto-asset service provider

Led by Lucas Wensing, Amdax is a crypto-asset service provider offering custody, transfer, trading, staking, and asset management services for digital assets.

As of 26 June 2025, Amdax holds a MiCAR license and serves private, corporate, and institutional clients.

Lucas Wensing, CEO of Amdax, says, “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 bitcoin supply held by corporations, governments and institutions, we think the time is right to establish a Bitcoin treasury company with the aim of obtaining a listing on Euronext Amsterdam, as one of the leading exchanges in Europe. This will provide institutional investors with new financial instruments to get exposure to the performance of bitcoin.”
