Bitcoin News Today: Amdax Launches Bitcoin Treasury Initiative on Euronext Amsterdam

Amdax, a Netherlands-based cryptocurrency service provider, has unveiled its ambitious plan to launch a Bitcoin treasury initiative named AMBTS—Amsterdam Bitcoin Treasury Strategy—through a listing on Euronext Amsterdam. The initiative is designed to offer institutional investors a secure and regulated means of gaining exposure to Bitcoin, leveraging the infrastructure and credibility of one of Europe’s leading stock exchanges [1]. The company has stated that AMBTS will seek to acquire and hold at least one percent of the total Bitcoin supply, aligning with a growing trend where governments, institutions, and corporations now control more than ten percent of the circulating supply [2].

AMBTS will operate as a separate entity, utilizing Amdax’s existing regulatory framework and over five years of experience in the digital asset market. The treasury company is expected to initially raise capital by issuing securities to private investors before pursuing a public listing on Euronext Amsterdam. If successful, AMBTS could become one of the first listed Bitcoin treasury firms in Europe, marking a significant milestone in the institutional adoption of digital assets [3].

Amdax’s CEO, Lucas Wensing, emphasized that the launch of a treasury company in Europe is timely, as it enables investors to participate in Bitcoin’s performance through a structured and regulated mechanism [4]. The company has previously demonstrated its commitment to compliance by becoming the first Dutch crypto service provider to register with the Dutch Central Bank in 2020. It continues to strengthen its oversight through independent audits and governance improvements, including adherence to ISAE 3000 type II standards [5].

The AMBTS initiative is seen as a bridge between traditional financial markets and the crypto asset class. By directly holding Bitcoin on-chain and managing it under a clear governance model, Amdax aims to provide institutional-grade security and transparency. The Euronext Amsterdam listing is expected to enhance Bitcoin’s liquidity and visibility, potentially drawing a broader investor base beyond crypto-native markets [6].

Analysts suggest that the initiative may also involve the use of a centralized trading platform to manage and deposit Bitcoin assets, adding an additional layer of institutional trust to the custody model [7]. While specific details on the custody and trading mechanisms remain undisclosed, the focus on security and regulatory compliance is widely regarded as a crucial step toward the broader acceptance of Bitcoin in institutional portfolios [8].

Amdax’s move reflects a broader shift in the financial sector, as traditional institutions and regulated entities increasingly explore ways to integrate Bitcoin into their offerings. The AMBTS listing is expected to set a precedent for similar initiatives across Europe and may influence future regulatory developments in the digital asset space [9].
