Dutch crypto company Amdax is launching a bitcoin (BTC) treasury on Euronext Amsterdam. The plan follows similar moves by U.S. firms adding BTC to their respective corporate balance sheets.
Amdax said in an official announcement that it is creating AMBTS B.V. The firm will be privately held with independent governance and operate as a stand-alone company. AMBTS aims to hold 1% of all Bitcoin in circulation. To carry out its purchase, AMBTS is planning to raise funds in various stages.
Amdax was the first crypto provider registered with the Dutch Central Bank in 2020. It also received a Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license from the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets in June 2025.
Rising Corporate Bitcoin Adoption in Europe
AMBTS will begin its bitcoin strategy with capital from private investors. Amdax offers 33 cryptocurrencies for trading, automated investment tools, and expert-managed portfolios.
Lucas Wensing, CEO of Amdax, said adoption is growing but remains small in most corporate portfolios. “Over 10% of Bitcoin is now held by corporations, governments, and institutions. The time is right to launch a Bitcoin treasury company and seek a listing on Euronext Amsterdam,” he stated.
At least 15 European companies have added BTC to their balance sheets. Germany’s Bitcoin Group holds 3,605 BTC, the UK’s Smarter Web Company has 2,395 BTC, and France’s Blockchain Group holds 1,653 BTC. Other firms hold less than 1,000 BTC each.
Bitcoin Outperforms All Major Financial Instruments
As per data from Bilello, a renowned market strategist, bitcoin has outperformed major assets over the last decade. The data shows that cryptocurrency has seen 141.7% average annual gain since 2011 compared with 5.7% for gold, 18.6% for the Nasdaq 100, 13.8% for U.S. large caps and 4.4% to 16.4% for other major equity and real estate indexes.
Amdax’s listing shows rising interest in BTC in Europe. It may prompt more companies to hold this asset in their treasuries. Investors and regulators are also keeping a watch on how it affects markets and corporate finance.
