Jane Street signs $6 billion AI cloud deal with CoreWeave, boosts stake

April 15 (Reuters) - Trading firm Jane Street has committed about $6 billion for CoreWeave's (CRWV.O), opens new tab cloud services, marking the third major deal for the Nvidia-backed cloud ​company in a week and underscoring surging demand for computing capacity.

Jane ‌Street also made a $1 billion equity investment in CoreWeave at a purchase price of $109 per share, the companies said on Wednesday. That represents a discount of 7% ​to CoreWeave's last closing price.

The investment will bring Jane Street's ​position in CoreWeave to about $1.44 billion, according to LSEG data, ⁠making the firm the fifth-largest shareholder in the company.

CoreWeave last week ​struck a multi-year deal with Claude-creator Anthropic to supply the AI company ​with computing capacity. It also announced an expanded $21 billion deal with Meta (META.O), opens new tab, expanding a $14.2 billion agreement the pair signed last year.
