Amazing AI (AAI), a global fintech group specialising in online consumer loans and AI finance-related services, has seen its shares surge in September as it prepares to launch a bitcoin treasury and expand internationally.
The shares are trading at 1.5p on AQSE in London, up from 0.95p at the start of the month.
AAI is well funded after raising £1.04 million earlier this month at 1p per share via an accelerated bookbuild and broker option to support its growth plan.
The company’s current operation is in the United States under the consumer brand Mr. Amazing Loans. It holds state consumer lending licences and has a 15-year track record in lending, collections and regulatory compliance.
In August, the company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary in Mauritius, Amazing AI Services Ltd, to offer AI finance-related services in selected international regions. As part of this shift, AAI plans to dissolve its UK subsidiary of the same name and run all AI services, including those for the UK, through the Mauritian entity. To support this, the company has appointed two Mauritian residents as non-executive directors of AAI Mauritius.
The international focus will prioritise the UK and high-growth emerging markets, including Sub-Saharan Africa (notably Nigeria), Southeast Asia (including the Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam) and India. According to AAI, Mauritius offers a strategic and geographic base to serve these regions efficiently. Meanwhile, the company’s US lending operations will continue under MRAL US Corporation.
AAI Mauritius will be used to purchase bitcoin on behalf of the company as it prepares to launch its bitcoin treasury. Earlier this month, AAI completed onboarding and appointment of BitGo Trust Company (BitGo), a leading global bitcoin treasury custodian, with the opening of AAI's bitcoin cold wallet custodian account. The formal legal advice in relation to AAI accumulating long-term bitcoin exposure is in the process of being finalised and the company anticipates that it will be able to commence purchases in mid-September 2025.
The custodian is expected to be able to provide financing against AAI’s bitcoin holdings, allowing the company to leverage up to 50% of the asset value.
Management believes this approach can expand lending capacity in the United States. For example, if AAI were to purchase £20 million of bitcoin for its treasury, it could potentially borrow up to £10 million against that asset and deploy the proceeds into its Georgia, US, consumer lending operations, where the current interest rate is 59.9% per annum. The Board anticipates this could generate up to £5.99 million in additional recurring annual revenue.
In addition, AAI has hired two highly experienced UK executives to spearhead the growth of its AI finance-related services division with Chris Birney appointed as Global Sales Director and Iain Cheshire appointed as Global AI Technology Director.
AAI’s Chief Executive Paul Mathieson said: “We are pleased to have appointed BitGo, a leading global bitcoin custodian, and look forward to the launch of our Bitcoin Treasury. We are also excited to have secured key UK executive talent to spearhead our best-of-breed AI finance-related services international business.”

Fresh funding, a defined Mauritius hub and the onboarding of BitGo give AAI tangible momentum. If bitcoin accumulation begins as planned in mid-September 2025 and financing is available against those holdings, the company could expand US lending capacity without new equity, while the appointments of Chris Birney and Iain Cheshire add commercial and technology depth.
