Dutch Firm Amdax Targets 1% of Bitcoin Supply With Bold Euronext Listing Plan
Dutch cryptocurrency company Amdax is preparing to launch one of Europe’s most ambitious Bitcoin strategies yet: creating a dedicated Bitcoin treasury firm, seeking a listing on Amsterdam’s Euronext, and ultimately aiming to acquire 1% of the total Bitcoin supply.
Amdax announced the creation of AMBTS B.V., a stand-alone entity with independent governance, designed to function purely as a Bitcoin treasury.
The company intends to raise capital in multiple stages through the markets, with proceeds used to steadily accumulate Bitcoin, grow equity value, and boost Bitcoin-per-share metrics for investors.
The scale of this ambition is striking. With Bitcoin currently trading above $115,000, acquiring 1% of its total supply—about 210,000 BTC—would require more than $24 billion.
Such a target underscores Amdax’s determination to cement its role as a European leader in Bitcoin treasury adoption, similar to the way MicroStrategy has positioned itself in the United States.
Amdax’s reputation gives weight to its plan. It was the first crypto service provider registered with the Dutch Central Bank in 2020 and recently secured a MiCA license from the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets, signaling its regulatory credibility in a tightening European landscape.
Europe’s Growing Corporate Bitcoin Adoption
The timing of Amdax’s move reflects a broader trend of corporate Bitcoin adoption in Europe, though the region still lags behind the U.S. in scale and visibility. At least 15 European companies currently hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets.
These include Germany’s Bitcoin Group with 3,605 BTC, the UK’s Smarter Web Company with 2,395 BTC, France’s Blockchain Group with 1,653 BTC, and Britain’s Satsuma Technology with 1,126 BTC.
Other firms across Sweden, Norway, France, and the UK hold smaller amounts, but none have declared a strategy as aggressive as Amdax’s 1% supply target.
By pursuing a public listing, Amdax is also providing European investors with a regulated, transparent pathway to gain direct exposure to Bitcoin through traditional capital markets.
A Global Trend Reshaping Finance
Amdax’s initiative aligns with a larger global wave of corporate Bitcoin adoption. Over 10% of the Bitcoin supply is already in the hands of corporations, governments, and institutions, reflecting growing confidence in Bitcoin as a reserve asset.
In Asia, Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has emerged as one of the most aggressive buyers, recently increasing its holdings to more than 18,888 BTC worth over $2.1 billion.
Its accumulation strategy has pushed its stock up nearly 190% this year, highlighting how bold Bitcoin treasury bets can capture investor enthusiasm. Amdax now appears poised to carve out a similar role for Europe.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin itself continues to reinforce its appeal. Over the past decade, the asset has delivered staggering returns of more than 26,900%, compared with just 193% for the S&P 500, 125% for gold, and 4.3% for crude oil.
For companies willing to take large positions, Bitcoin has proven to be a transformative reserve asset.
Amsterdam’s Bid to Become a Bitcoin Capital
If successful, Amdax’s Euronext-listed treasury company could position Amsterdam as a new focal point for European Bitcoin adoption.
By openly targeting 1% of the global Bitcoin supply, Amdax is signaling that Europe does not intend to remain a bystander in the institutional race for digital assets.
The initiative not only strengthens Amdax’s role as a pioneer but also demonstrates how Europe could integrate Bitcoin more deeply into its financial ecosystem.
Just as Metaplanet has made Tokyo a key hub for Bitcoin in Asia, Amdax’s ambitious plan may transform Amsterdam into Europe’s answer to the corporate Bitcoin boom.
