Quantitative trading firm Jane Street distributed $9.38 billion in compensation in 2025, more than doubling its payouts from the previous year. This equates to an average of $2.68 million per employee, significantly outpacing competitors like Goldman Sachs. The firm generated $39.6 billion in trading revenue, surpassing major Wall Street banks and market makers. Jane Street's equity value has surged nearly 2,000% since 2016, reaching $45 billion. This growth has enabled the firm to capitalize on market volatility and invest in startups, including a significant stake in AI startup Anthropic PBC, now valued at approximately $800 billion. The firm also recently invested $1 billion in AI cloud services provider CoreWeave Inc. Despite regulatory advantages and recent controversies, Jane Street continues to lead in trading revenue, outperforming rivals like Citadel Securities.
