Amdax launches AMBTS to secure 1% of global Bitcoin supply, targeting €30M funding and regulated European investor access in 2025.
Amsterdam-based digital asset firm Amdax has officially launched AMBTS B.V., a dedicated Bitcoin treasury company, as part of an ambitious plan to secure one percent of the total global Bitcoin supply. The announcement is one of the significant milestones in the history of institutional investment in Bitcoin in Europe.
AMBTS Targets €30M by September to Expand Bitcoin Treasury
The company has already secured EUR20 million (roughly, 23.3 million dollars) of its first round of financing, thus satisfying the minimum capital target of the company. The firm intends to take the round to EUR30 million before the end of September 2025. The capital will be deployed to start the construction on its Bitcoin treasury, as well as to prepare an initial public offering (IPO) in the Euronext Amsterdam stock exchange. The listing will assist AMBTS to tap into capital markets, so as to scale its holdings gradually.

The new company will be a separate legal entity, which has a governance structure and strategy of its own. Amdax offers guidance and regulatory expertise, but AMBTS operates independently from its parent company. This autonomy helps AMBTS maintain integrity and focus while handling challenges as a large institutional Bitcoin holder.
The time horizon of AMBTS is to purchase about 210,000 BTC, which would amount to a 1 percent portion of the fixed supply of Bitcoin of 21 million coins. This would take more than 24 billion in capital at prevailing market prices. To fulfill this target, AMBTS intends to implement a gradual acquisition approach that will deploy primary and secondary capital market instruments. The company has objectives to deliver high shareholder value by targeting growth in Bitcoin-per-share in the long term.
Bitcoin Gains 30% in 2025 as AMBTS Targets European Investors
The timing of the launch comes as Bitcoin experiences increased institutional adoption globally. In 2025 alone, Bitcoin has grown by more than 30% and corporations and government are now estimated to own over 10% of the supplied coins. AMBTS provides European investors with a regulated and compliant way to access Bitcoin without the hassles of direct asset custody.
Since 2020, the Dutch Central Bank has regulated Amdax. The company, founded in 2019, holds a license under MiCAR, following Europe’s Markets in Crypto-Assets rules. The company has also had reputed high internal risk controls and annual ISAE 3000 audit reports.
Lucas Wensing, CEO of Amdax and co-founder of AMBTS, said this effort shows the growing need for Bitcoin investment options in Europe. He added that investor interest in the funding round shows trust in Amdax’s strategy and Bitcoin’s long-term potential.
Still, AMBTS does not ignore the risks. Equity value of the treasury, in the long term, may be influenced by Bitcoin price volatility. Moreover, strategic risk exists in emphasizing one digital asset to a great extent. The company, however, is making a bet on the maturing profile of Bitcoin and its growing use as a global store of value.
Lastly, the launch of AMBTS makes the company a legitimate competitor in the institutional Bitcoin space. Having a robust start-up capital and a well-defined roadmap, as well as with solid regulatory support, AMBTS is going to transform the European investor access to Bitcoin. The aim to acquire 1% of the worldwide Bitcoin stock is an ambitious one and a significant move in the direction of crypto finance in Europe.
