Oklo Inc.

HALAL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is OKLO Halal?

Advanced nuclear fission power — clean-energy infrastructure is a permissible activity, and the company carries little interest-bearing debt.

What You Should Know

Oklo Inc. is developing advanced fission power plants and nuclear-fuel recycling. Its March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q reports $2,703.509 million of assets, no reported interest-bearing debt, $1,594.103 million of cash, $942.795 million of available-for-sale debt securities and $11.379 million of receivables. Oklo reported no operating revenue for the quarter because it remains pre-revenue; liquidity/assets is 93.84% and receivables-plus-cash/assets is 59.39%, so the examined asset-based financial screens fail despite a permissible clean-energy activity.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Oklo is pre-revenue; no operating-revenue denominator exists for an interest-income ratio, so that ratio is not fabricated
  • Liquidity/assets is 93.84% and receivables-plus-cash/assets is 59.39%, above the examined asset-based limits because of its Treasury and commercial-paper portfolio
  • The filing reports $21.339 million of investment income; purification treatment remains scholar-dependent and cannot be expressed as a revenue percentage while revenue is zero
  • Any future shift toward interest-bearing project debt to fund plant construction should be monitored

A licensed historical market-cap series is not stored; the total-assets screen already fails on liquidity and receivables-plus-cash.

Business-activity disclosure

Oklo is developing advanced fission powerhouses and nuclear-fuel recycling. Clean-energy generation is generally permissible, but Oklo remains pre-revenue and the filing does not provide a universal prohibited-activity numerator across future projects, counterparties or end uses.

Limitation: No operating revenue was reported for the quarter, so an interest-income-to-revenue ratio cannot be calculated without inventing a denominator; future commercial activity remains qualitative.

Purification

Oklo reports investment income while pre-revenue; no revenue-based purification percentage can be calculated and ZakatInvest does not prescribe a scholar-approved percentage.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from Oklo's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
  • The filing does not report interest-bearing debt; convertible or project debt should be added when issued.
  • Cash and cash equivalents are $1,594.103 million and available-for-sale debt securities are $942.795 million, consisting primarily of Treasury securities and commercial paper.
  • Interest receivable of $9.710 million plus other receivables of $1.669 million are included; the filing reports no operating revenue for the quarter because Oklo remains pre-revenue.
  • The filing reports $21.339 million of investment income and $0.138 million of investment interest/accretion, but no operating-revenue denominator exists, so the income ratio is unavailable rather than fabricated.
  • Advanced nuclear power and fuel recycling are generally permissible, while project counterparties, licensing and future end uses remain qualitative.

This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
