Oklo, Vistra shares rise after Meta nuclear power deals

Oklo shares soared after Meta announced a deal with the nuclear power supply company, which is also backed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

In a press release dated Friday January 9, 2026, the Meta platform, owned by Mark Zuckerberg, announced its agreements with three nuclear energy suppliers, including Vistra, TerraPower and Oklo.

Financial terms of the deals were not disclosed.

According to CNBC, the deal involves Meta’s Prometheus supercluster computing system, which is being built at a data center in New Albany, Ohio.

These companies attracted a lot of investor interest after the announcement, with Vistra’s share price jumping 16 percent and Oklo’s 18 percent.

Meta’s online IT system, first announced in July 2025, is expected to come online sometime in 2026.

Zuckerberg described Prometheus as one of the keys to developing the company’s advanced artificial intelligence efforts.

Following the agreements, the project is expected to add 6.6 gigawatts of electricity by 2035, more than New Hampshire’s demand.

Okla, Vistra or TerraPower have not yet officially announced their agreement with the technology giant.
