Oklo's Trading Volume Drops 45% to $8.8 Billion, Slips to 75th in Daily Rankings

On June 18, 2025, Oklo's trading volume reached $8.80 billion, marking a 45.38% decrease from the previous day. This placed Oklo at the 75th position in the daily stock market rankings. Oklo's stock price fell by 1.19%, marking a two-day decline of 5.24%.

Oklo Inc. is a leader in the global energy revolution, focusing on advanced nuclear technologies, particularly small modular reactors (SMRs) and nuclear waste recycling. The company's progress in 2024-2025 has been marked by significant strategic moves that reduce risk and expand its addressable market.

One of the key developments is Oklo's collaboration with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), which has accelerated the timeline for its 75-MW Aurora Powerhouse at Idaho National Laboratory. The Pre-Application Readiness Assessment concluded in early 2025, paving the way for a formal Combined License Application submission by the end of the year. Additionally, the NRC's review of Oklo's Licensed Operator Topical Report in June 2025 could set new industry standards by allowing centralized monitoring of multiple reactors.

Oklo's conditional award to power Alaska's Eielson Air Force Base is another significant milestone. This 5-MW microreactor project, part of a 30-year, $100+ million contract, validates Oklo's technology in extreme environments and opens a critical market: defense infrastructure. The Department of Defense aims to deploy over 50 microreactors by 2030, and Oklo's first-mover advantage in this sector is substantial.

Oklo's collaboration with the Department of Energy on uranium-232 recycling could reduce fuel costs by 30% and eliminate waste. Simultaneously, its Memorandum of Understanding with Switch, a hyperscale data center operator, ties Oklo's low-carbon power to the AI boom, where data centers consume 2% of global electricity. This synergy positions Oklo as a dual beneficiary of the nuclear renaissance and AI infrastructure growth.
