Following the recent establishment of AMBTS B.V. (‘AMBTS’) by Amdax, one of the Netherlands’ leading crypto-asset service providers, Amdax and AMBTS hereby announce that a number of investors have committed approximately EUR 20 million in an initial financing round following private placements. With this, the minimum goal of the financing round has been achieved. AMBTS aims to close the investment round in September 2025, which will be capped at an aggregate investment of EUR 30 million.
The initial financing round is an important step in the journey to establish an independent Bitcoin treasury company with a listing on Euronext Amsterdam. Upon completion, the proceeds are expected to be used to make a head start with the bitcoin accumulation strategy. AMBTS is in advanced stages of its preparations for the listing on Euronext Amsterdam through an initial public offering.
Amdax is the main initiator behind AMBTS, which operates as a stand-alone company with a focused corporate strategy. As a regulated and experienced crypto-asset service provider, Amdax believes it is well-placed to initiate a Bitcoin treasury company in the EU that can stand alongside global peers.
Following listing, the long-term ambition of AMBTS is to grow its business operations to become a 1% treasury1, owning a minimum of 1% of all bitcoin over time. AMBTS intends to leverage the capital markets to increase its bitcoin holdings and sequentially generate equity appreciation and grow bitcoin per share for its shareholders, subject to market and other conditions.
Lucas Wensing, CEO of Amdax and co-founder of AMBTS: “Based on the interest in Bitcoin from parties within our ecosystem, we decided to establish a dedicated Bitcoin treasury company. The appetite we have received for this initial financing round we believe indicates that investors welcome the initiative, providing them with an opportunity to participate in the rapidly developing market. With the establishment of AMBTS, we aim to strengthen the European autonomous digital asset industry and thereby potentially unlocking a compelling investment opportunity for institutional investors.”
¹Owning 1% of bitcoin over time, equivalent to 210,000 BTC.
