But here’s where Amsterdam really sets the pace for Voice of Crypto: local powerhouse Amdax is launching AMBTS (Amsterdam Bitcoin Treasury Strategy)—a regulated Bitcoin treasury company aiming to list on Euronext Amsterdam and accumulate at least 1% of Bitcoin's total supply over time . With Bitcoin up nearly 32% in 2025, and institutions now holding over 10% of the coin, AMBTS promises a path for European institutional investors to gain regulated, mainstream Bitcoin exposure.
This isn’t just a background story—it’s a fabulous forward edge. We will be debating the future of digital capital as Amsterdam quietly becomes Europe’s Bitcoin treasury hub, amongst the waves...setting the regulatory and infrastructural tone for the next dawn of crypto-native investing.
