Jane Street, a privately held trading giant, disclosed a $15 billion loss from its exposure to Situational Awareness. The loss came to light as the firm was executing a massive debt swap: repaying over $11 billion in outstanding loans and bonds, financed by a new $14.6 billion debt issuance. Existing bonds rallied sharply on the news as yields dropped, anticipating full repayment. Part of the new debt will fund the firm's AI-driven technology buildout to power new trading strategies.
