Maotai Levels Up: New Digital Tech Arm Launched š³
Guizhou Maotai, that iconic Chinese baijiu powerhouse, just spun off a wholly-owned subsidiary called Ai Maotai Digital Technology Co. with a hefty 6 billion yuan (about $840 million) in registered capital. 0 Set up on Jan 1, 2026, itās eyeing stuff like blockchain software, industrial internet data services, live streaming tech, and even selling integrated circuit chips. 2 Basically, theyāre branching out from just making premium booze to dipping toes in the digital world.
This feels like a savvy pivot ā Maotaiās already a beast in the liquor game, but going tech could help with things like secure supply chains via blockchain or hyping products through live streams to fans. In todayās economy, diversifying beats sticking to one trick, especially with Chinaās push on digital innovation. Could be a win if they play it right, but itāll be interesting to see if it boosts their stock or just adds buzz.
