Bitcoin News Today: Dutch Firm Amdax Targets 1% Bitcoin Supply via New Treasury Vehicle

Dutch firm Amdax has launched a new entity, AMBTC BV, with the objective of acquiring 1% of Bitcoin’s total circulating supply—approximately 199,079 BTC. This ambitious target aligns with a broader trend of institutional interest in Bitcoin as a long-term strategic asset. The initiative is structured to offer a transparent and legally compliant vehicle for institutional investors seeking exposure to Bitcoin [1]. AMBTC BV operates independently but remains strategically aligned with Amdax, a company that holds the distinction of being the first in the Netherlands to receive authorization from the Dutch Central Bank (DNB) and a MiCA license from the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) [2].

The firm is currently in early-stage discussions with potential investors ahead of an initial funding round. Concurrently, AMBTC BV is preparing for a public listing on Euronext Amsterdam, one of Europe’s major stock exchanges. The listing is expected to provide the necessary capital to fund the initial Bitcoin purchases, with the ultimate goal of acquiring 1% of the total supply [3]. At the current price of approximately $116,406 per BTC, the projected value of the full acquisition is estimated at around $22.8 billion [4].

Amdax has emphasized its focus on long-term value and regulatory compliance, leveraging Amsterdam’s growing reputation as a hub for fintech and crypto innovation. The company aims to position AMBTC BV among the top global Bitcoin treasury holders and potentially the largest in Europe by BTC reserves [5]. The move underscores Amdax’s belief in Bitcoin’s role in modern investment portfolios and its potential to serve as a hedge against macroeconomic uncertainty.

The initiative is notable for its regulatory rigor and institutional approach, distinguishing it from other Bitcoin treasury projects. By operating under a regulated framework and targeting a European listing, Amdax is addressing key concerns about transparency and legal structure that have historically limited institutional adoption [6]. Analysts suggest that if the listing successfully attracts substantial institutional capital, it could influence broader market sentiment and encourage more traditional investors to explore crypto assets [7].

Despite the challenges of market volatility and the high cost of acquiring a large Bitcoin position, Amdax remains committed to its long-term vision. The firm’s strategy is consistent with other high-profile Bitcoin treasury initiatives but stands out for its regulatory alignment and geographic focus. As Bitcoin continues to experience heightened interest across global markets, Amdax’s AMBTC BV venture is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of institutional crypto adoption in Europe [8].
