Dutch Firm Amdax Unveils Bitcoin Treasury Aiming to Hold 1% of Global Supply
Dutch firm Amdax launches AMBTC BV, aiming to hold 1% of Bitcoin’s supply and list on Euronext Amsterdam after IPO.
Amdax, a Dutch digital asset firm and the first in the Netherlands licensed under the EU’s MiCA framework and the Dutch Central Bank (DNB), has announced the creation of AMBTC BV, an independent Bitcoin treasury entity with an ambitious target: to accumulate 1% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply.
The new company will operate independently under its own management team, though it will maintain commercial ties with Amdax as a strategic backer. According to the firm’s statement, AMBTC BV is preparing to raise capital through private funding rounds and a future initial public offering (IPO) on Euronext Amsterdam, one of Europe’s major stock exchanges.
If successful, AMBTC BV plans to acquire approximately 199,079 BTC, representing 1% of Bitcoin’s current circulating supply of nearly 19.9 million coins. At prevailing market prices—Bitcoin was trading just under $116,406 at the time of the announcement—the target equates to roughly $22.8 billion worth of Bitcoin.
Details of the IPO, including issue volume, participating institutions, and terms, will be disclosed in the coming months. Proceeds from the fundraising efforts are expected to fund AMBTC BV’s initial Bitcoin purchases, marking the start of one of the most ambitious corporate accumulation strategies to date in Europe.
If AMBTC BV achieves its goal, it would rank among the world’s largest Bitcoin treasuries and likely become the continent’s leading institutional holder of BTC. Such a position would place the company alongside giants like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), which has amassed over 600,000 BTC, and major North American crypto miners and funds.
Industry observers see the move as a landmark development in Europe’s growing digital asset landscape. By combining regulatory credibility with a bold acquisition strategy, Amdax appears determined to position Amsterdam as a hub for institutional Bitcoin investment.
“This initiative signals a shift in Europe’s approach to Bitcoin,” said one analyst. “With MiCA providing regulatory clarity, firms like Amdax can now pursue large-scale treasury strategies that were previously unthinkable.”
The launch also underscores a global race among corporations and funds to secure significant portions of Bitcoin’s finite supply. With only 21 million BTC ever to be mined, institutional competition for the asset is intensifying, raising questions about scarcity, price trajectory, and the future role of Bitcoin in traditional finance.
