Amdax launches AMBTS with €20M funding to pursue large-scale Bitcoin accumulation
Dutch crypto services firm Amdax has secured roughly 20 million euros, or about $23.3 million, in initial financing to establish a dedicated Bitcoin treasury company called AMBTS that it plans to list on Amsterdam’s Euronext exchange. The privately held vehicle will operate with its own governance and a focused mandate to grow institutional Bitcoin holdings.
AMBTS target and strategy
AMBTS is being structured with an ambitious long-term objective: to gather at least 1% of the total Bitcoin supply that will ever exist, roughly 210,000 BTC. At current prices this equates to a multi‑billion dollar position. According to Amdax, AMBTS will use capital markets tools, including equity raises and potential public listings, to scale its Bitcoin balance while aiming to boost Bitcoin per share value for investors, subject to market conditions.

The rise of corporate Bitcoin treasuries
Since MicroStrategy first proved the corporate treasury model at scale, an increasing number of public and private firms have incorporated Bitcoin into their balance sheets. The trend spans a wide range of industries, with companies such as Tesla, KULR Technology, Aker, Méliuz, MercadoLibre, Samara, Jasmine, Alliance, and Rumble among the notable names that have added BTC exposure.
This shift is not limited to businesses that traditionally invest in digital assets. More companies are using equity offerings, share issuances, and at-the-market programs to buy Bitcoin, effectively broadening institutional demand and decreasing circulating supply.
How AMBTS fits into the market
AMBTS joins a cohort of entities that focus primarily on accumulating Bitcoin. Some, like Japan’s Metaplanet, are pursuing very large equity raises to convert capital into BTC, while other tech and telecom firms are supplementing their corporate treasuries with Bitcoin purchases. The model has been reinforced by repeated acquisitions from major players: Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) remains the largest holder, with over 632,000 BTC, representing more than 3% of all Bitcoin ever to be mined.

Market implications and outlook
If AMBTS proceeds to list on Euronext and executes on its accumulation plan, the initiative could exert upward pressure on demand for Bitcoin, especially if other companies follow with dedicated treasury strategies. Reduced circulating supply from concentrated corporate holdings has historically been cited as a bullish factor for price discovery, though outcomes will depend on macroeconomic conditions, regulatory developments, and how aggressively such treasuries deploy capital.
Investors and market watchers will be tracking AMBTS’s governance structure, capital market maneuvers, and phased accumulation plan to assess its potential impact on institutional adoption of Bitcoin and overall market liquidity. The launch underlines an ongoing shift: public equity is increasingly being leveraged as a vehicle to gain BTC exposure and to put balance-sheet capital to work in digital assets.
