AMBTS Raises $23M to Launch Bitcoin Treasury, Targets 1% BTC
AMBTS, backed by Amsterdam-based digital asset provider Amdax, has raised €20 million (US$23.2 M) in a private placement to launch its independent Bitcoin Treasury strategy. Capped at €30 million, the funding round closes by September 2025 and will position AMBTS among Europe’s first dedicated Bitcoin Treasury companies. The company aims to amass at least 1% of circulating BTC (around 210,000 BTC, ~$24 billion) through gradual capital raises, leveraging Amdax’s Dutch Central Bank registration and upcoming MiCA license. AMBTS plans an initial private round with institutional and high-net-worth investors, partnering with Custodiex for regulated European custody, before a full public listing on Euronext Amsterdam. Early backers include Marc van der Chijs, founder of miner Hut 8. This move bridges traditional finance and digital assets, meeting rising institutional demand for crypto reserve assets and aligning AMBTS with major institutional Bitcoin holders like MicroStrategy and Metaplanet.
Bullish
The announcement of AMBTS’s dedicated Bitcoin Treasury strategy is bullish for BTC. Institutional backing, a capped €30 million funding round and a plan to accumulate 1% of circulating BTC reduces available supply and signals strong demand. Regulatory compliance through Dutch Central Bank registration and MiCA licensing lowers execution risk, while partnerships with Custodiex ensure secure custody. Short term, the private placement of €20 million can drive buying pressure; long term, sustained institutional interest and a public listing on Euronext Amsterdam support positive price sentiment by legitimizing Bitcoin as a reserve asset.
