Amsterdam-based Crypto Services Provider Amdax Launches AMBTS

AMBTS is designed for institutional investors seeking Bitcoin exposure through a regulated European structure, with the long-term goal of becoming a 1% Bitcoin treasury company.

Amid rising inflation, geopolitical uncertainty, and clearer regulations, Bitcoin’s appeal grows, as it often moves independently of other assets. This trend is driving institutions and governments to add Bitcoin to their portfolios.

For Europe, building a domestic digital asset industry is vital to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving market. Leveraging its regulation-compliant experience, Amdax aims to establish a Bitcoin treasury company in the EU capable of competing globally.

Amdax has operated a fully licensed digital asset practice for over five years, investing heavily in regulation, compliance, and risk management.

In 2020, it became the first crypto service provider in the Netherlands to register with the Dutch Central Bank (DNB). Since then, Amdax has strengthened governance, risk controls, and independent oversight, completing ISAE 3000 Type II audits.

Recently, Amdax became one of the first crypto-asset service providers to obtain a MiCAR license from the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM), ensuring compliance with the new Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR).

AMBTS will operate as a stand-alone company with a focused strategy, benefiting from Amdax’s expertise while maintaining an arms-length relationship. A private limited company has been established.

AMBTS plans to raise capital from private investors in an initial financing round, with proceeds intended to kick-start its Bitcoin accumulation strategy, subject to definitive agreements and standard closing conditions. The company is also preparing for an initial public offering on Euronext Amsterdam.

After the listing AMBTS aims to expand its operations to become a 1% Bitcoin treasury, gradually holding at least 1% of all Bitcoin. The company plans to leverage capital markets to grow its Bitcoin holdings, potentially increasing both the value of shares and the Bitcoin allocation for shareholders depending on market conditions.

Led by Lucas Wensing, Amdax is a crypto-asset service provider offering custody, transfer, trading, staking, and asset management services. As of 26 June 2025 the company 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.”
