Oklo's 9.99 Billion Trading Volume Ranks 73rd Amid Defense Contracts and Clean Energy Push

On June 25, 2025, Oklo's trading volume reached 9.99 billion, ranking 73rd in the day's stock market. Oklo (OKLO) fell by 8.47%.

Oklo's ambitions in the microreactor sector have gained significant momentum with major contracts from U.S. defense installations. These contracts underscore the company's growing role in supporting America's clean energy transition. Oklo CEO Jacob DeWitte recently discussed a new partnership with the U.S. Air Force to design, build, and operate a microreactor at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska. This project aims to enhance on-site energy security and is part of a broader Department of Defense initiative to deploy advanced microreactors across key military bases.

DeWitte emphasized the long-term nature of these efforts, stating that the company is looking at a multi-decade time frame, stretching out 20 to 30 years. Military installations are increasingly seeking reliable, clean energy sources. Oklo's recent collaboration with the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) further accelerates the adoption and commercialization of advanced technologies, including nuclear energy. These initiatives align with the government's policy to utilize defense infrastructure and land to power data centers and AI capabilities on military installations, creating an exciting and compelling trajectory for Oklo.

These efforts build on Oklo's commercial partnership with Amazon to supply advanced microreactors for its data centers, a deal that has been recognized as one of the largest for clean energy to date. Despite being a pre-revenue company, Oklo's stock has shown significant gains, driven by strategic contract wins and business moves that position the company to benefit from the government's push to accelerate nuclear power development in the United States. The executive order also calls for reforming the Nuclear Regulatory Commission as part of a broader effort to strengthen the nation's economic security.

Oklo's financial position remains strong, with a net loss narrowing significantly in the first quarter of 2025 to $9.81 million. The company is in the pre-revenue stage, focusing on commercialization and development, and expects to start generating commercial revenue in early to mid-2026. At the end of Q1, Oklo held $260.7 million in cash and marketable securities, reflecting its robust financial health.
