- In early January 2026, Oklo announced a partnership with Meta to advance a 1.2 GW nuclear power campus in Pike County, Ohio, alongside a separate U.S. Department of Energy agreement to build a radioisotope pilot facility under the Reactor Pilot Program.
- Together, these deals position Oklo at the junction of clean data center power and domestic medical isotope production, expanding its potential customer base beyond utilities.
- Next, we’ll examine how Meta’s prepayment-backed Ohio project could reshape Oklo’s investment narrative despite the recent 7-day share price decline.

What Is Oklo's Investment Narrative?
To own Oklo here, you have to believe that advanced nuclear can become a viable, contracted solution for data centers and critical infrastructure long before it looks like a conventional utility business. The Meta deal and DOE radioisotope pilot do meaningfully shape that story: Meta’s prepayment mechanism helps address one of the near term catalysts, which is securing funding and commercial validation for the first Aurora projects, while the DOE agreement gives Oklo a second leg in medical and research isotopes. At the same time, they highlight the core risks that have not gone away: no current revenue, a long runway to meaningful operations, execution and regulatory complexity, and a share price that has been volatile after a very large one year total return. The recent 7 day pullback suggests the news has not removed those tensions, just reframed them.
However, one key risk for shareholders is only becoming more pressing. Upon reviewing our latest valuation report, Oklo's share price might be too optimistic.Exploring Other Perspectives
