Summary
Jane Street (also known as Jane Street Capital) is an American multinational quantitative trading firm headquartered in New York City.

In addition to its core trading activities, Jane Street has recently deployed billions of dollars into compute deals to address infrastructural bottlenecks in AI data centers.
