Quantitative trading firm Jane Street is planning to build its own data center.

As reported by Bloomberg and citing people familiar with the matter, Jane Street is in discussions with companies across the technology, cryptocurrency, and financial sectors to explore the possibility of developing its own data center.

It is seeking 100-200MW in capacity for the data center. The quant firm would use the facility for training internal AI models for functions such as future asset prices.

Bloomberg reports that the conversations remain in the early stages, and no final decisions on capacity or location have yet been made.

Jane Street declined to comment to the publication.

In a YouTube video published in May 2026, Jane Street’s co-head of technology Ron Minsky said: “We just can’t get all the compute we want all in the same place. You cannot wire in enough thunderbolts into the same data center to power all the things you need. You need to get the data centers built all over the place.”

Jane Street currently operates from a data center in Dallas, Texas, and signed a major cloud contract with neocloud CoreWeave earlier this year. It is aiming to increase its compute capacity by around ten times, and already has tens of thousands of GPUs running, soon to increase into the hundreds of thousands.

Jane Street was founded in 2000. Beyond the Texas facility, the company’s data center footprint isn’t publicly shared, but Jane Street is currently hiring data center engineers in New York and Chicago in the US; London, UK; Hong Kong; Singapore; and Mumbai, India. The listing requires experience with multi-megawatt GPU deployments.

Besides its quant trading efforts, Jane Street also invests in companies, including leading a previous $650m funding round for CoreWeave in 2024. Others include AI chip startup MatX, SMR firm X-energy, and Anthropic.
