Jane Street disclosed a $990 million position in Bitcoin ETFs as of June 30, primarily in BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust, according to an SEC filing. This disclosure coincided with the firm's announcement of a $15 billion trading loss in July, its worst month in a decade, largely due to margin calls linked to an AI hedge fund and weak Asian equity bets. However, Jane Street operates mainly as a market maker rather than a directional investor, so the large Bitcoin ETF position likely reflects hedging or client demand rather than bullish sentiment. The current size of this position remains unknown until the next SEC filing in November.
