Amsterdam-based crypto-asset provider Amdax has raised €20 million in its initial financing round for the Amsterdam Bitcoin Treasury Strategy (AMBTS), a new vehicle designed to give institutional investors regulated exposure to Bitcoin.
The round was completed via private placements, meeting the company’s minimum goal. Amdax expects to close the raise in September 2025, with a cap of €30 million, after which AMBTS will begin its Bitcoin accumulation strategy.
A regulated path to Bitcoin exposure
AMBTS is structured as a stand-alone company but will leverage Amdax’s infrastructure for custody, trading, and asset management. The initiative is designed for institutional investors seeking exposure through a European-regulated framework under MiCAR.
Over time, AMBTS aims to establish itself as a “1% Bitcoin treasury company,” gradually building its holdings via capital markets while targeting equity appreciation and shareholder value creation.
“The appetite for this first financing round shows that institutional investors welcome a regulated, European path to Bitcoin exposure,” said Lucas Wensing, CEO of Amdax and co-founder of AMBTS. “This strengthens the European digital asset industry while offering investors a compelling long-term opportunity.”

Backed by MiCAR license
Amdax, founded in 2019, provides custody, trading, staking, and asset management services for digital assets. Since June 2025, the company has held a MiCAR license, enabling it to serve private, corporate, and institutional clients across Europe.
With AMBTS, Amdax is positioning itself as a pioneer in regulated Bitcoin treasury strategies, setting the stage for a potential Euronext Amsterdam listing.
