- Amdax’s new entity AMBTC BV targets 1% of Bitcoin.
- Aims for independent IPO on Euronext Amsterdam.
- Focus on regulated access for institutional investors.
Dutch firm Amdax announces the creation of a treasury entity, AMBTC BV, aiming to acquire 1% of all Bitcoin, with plans for an IPO on Euronext Amsterdam.
The venture signifies increasing institutional interest in regulated Bitcoin investments, potentially impacting market dynamics by channeling more conservative capital into the cryptocurrency sector.
The Dutch company Amdax has launched a new treasury entity, AMBTC BV, with the ambitious goal of acquiring 1% of the Bitcoin supply. This initiative aims at an IPO on Euronext Amsterdam. Amdax is a licensed Dutch crypto exchange and asset manager.
CEO Lucas Wensing spearheads the project. He has confirmed the entity’s goal to obtain up to 210,000 Bitcoins. Amdax plans a direct Euronext listing while maintaining ties with Amdax Ltd.
Market effects include a rise in regulated Bitcoin access for institutions and long-term BTC acquisition goals. The launch could attract conservative capital into Bitcoin markets.
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 to obtain a listing on Euronext Amsterdam, as one of the leading exchanges in Europe.

This venture seeks to establish a regulated vehicle for institutional investments, enhancing exposure to Bitcoin’s performance. This aims to transform the existing landscape of Bitcoin investment portfolios.
Comparatively, this strategy mirrors precedents like MicroStrategy and Metaplanet, which facilitate institutional Bitcoin access. These typically boost public awareness and market share.
Experts highlight the regulatory rigor under the Dutch Central Bank and MiCA, which is crucial for such ventures. Past events show treasury moves affect Bitcoin’s price and awareness, yet depend on purchase pace.
