On Monday, Oct. 27, 2025, Nauticus Robotics announced it had secured a $250 million equity line of credit (ELOC) to accelerate its next phase of growth and enter the emerging market for deep‑sea rare‑earth and mineral exploration.
The ELOC will give the company flexibility to pursue strategic acquisitions that expand its technological capabilities and position it to tap into the critical‑mineral market in ultra‑deepwater environments. CEO John Gibson said the facility aligns with the Trump administration’s priorities on securing strategic minerals and reduces reliance on international producers.
The move follows Nauticus’s recent acquisition of SeaTrepid International and its expansion of the Aquanaut AUV and ToolKITT software. The financing is expected to support the development of autonomous exploration capabilities and broaden the company’s service offerings beyond offshore energy and environmental monitoring.
The equity line of credit provides up to $250 million in capital that can be drawn as needed, giving Nauticus a significant liquidity boost and the ability to accelerate product development, enter new markets, and strengthen its competitive position in the subsea robotics industry.
