On August 10, Unitree Robotics launched its latest round of share subscriptions. Reporters discovered that several trust companies were among its newly listed shareholders. Notably, CITIC Trust and AVIC Trust (which has since withdrawn from its position) have indirectly acquired stakes in the company. Meanwhile, Zijin Trust, Shanghai Trust, and other entities participated in offline placements of new shares. Shuai Guorang, a researcher at Yuyi Trust, commented that trust companies taking stakes in technology firms like Unitree Robotics signals an accelerated shift within the industry from 'real estate-focused investments to technology-driven ventures.' Faced with the contraction of traditional non-standard business operations, trust companies are utilizing their institutional agility and cross-market allocation capabilities to act as 'patient capital' that supports the development of cutting-edge technologies. This strategic move not only aligns with policy directives but also underscores their dedication to bolstering the real economy and fostering technological self-sufficiency and competitiveness.
