U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday to jumpstart the U.S. deep-sea mining industry. Trump seeks to secure domestic access to critical resources through this initiative and reduce America's dependence on foreign supply chains for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities" rel="noreferrer noopener">increasingly important commodities</a>.
"The United States has a core national security and economic interest in maintaining leadership in deep-sea science and technology and seabed mineral resources," Trump <a target="_blank" href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/unleashing-americas-offshore-critical-minerals-and-resources/" rel="noreferrer noopener">stated</a> in the order, signed privately on Thursday.
The directive empowers agencies to expedite permits for mining on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf and in international waters under the Deep Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act of 1980. It also mandates reports and strategies across agencies to identify domestic and global seabed mineral extraction and processing opportunities.
Trump's decision aligns with growing pressure from mining companies and U.S. allies to challenge China's global critical minerals market dominance. Vast fields of polymetallic nodules — rock-like deposits rich in nickel, manganese, and copper — are scattered across the seafloor, especially in the Pacific Ocean.
Yet the international community remains divided. The International Seabed Authority (ISA), formed under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, has yet to finalize regulations for commercial deep-sea mining. Last month's (March) convention in Kingston, Jamaica, failed to achieve a breakthrough, and the organization has yet to finalize commercial <a target="_blank" href="https://deep-sea-conservation.org/media-release-deep-sea-mining-company-plans-met-with-global-pushback-as-international-seabed-authority-meeting-concludes/" rel="noreferrer noopener">deep-sea mining regulations</a>.&nbsp;
The U.S. is not a signatory to the convention but recognizes ISA's role in overseeing activities in international waters. A lack of consensus over permissible noise, dust, and sediment disturbance has delayed the rulemaking process for over a decade.
Environmental advocates have fiercely criticized the move. Oceanographic Magazine called the decision "an environmental disaster in the making," <a target="_blank" href="https://oceanographicmagazine.com/news/trumps-deep-seabed-mining-move-an-environmental-disaster/" rel="noreferrer noopener">stating</a> that the order would "open one of Earth's most fragile and least understood ecosystems to reckless industrial exploitation."
"The deep ocean belongs to everyone, and protecting it is humanity's global duty. The sea floor environment is not a platform for ‘America First' extraction," added Emily Jeffers, a senior attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity.
Despite the uncertainty, companies are already racing ahead. The Metals Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMC#NYSE">TMC</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44543787/tmc-pushes-for-the-fastest-pathway-to-commercial-production-despite-environmental-risks" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced last month</a> it would seek a license through the U.S. government, bypassing ISA. Shares of TMC soared more than 44%, closing at $3.69 after yesterday's announcement.
Odyssey Marine Exploration (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OMEX#NASDAQ">OMEX</a>), another deep-sea player, saw its stock <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44990450/why-odyssey-marine-exploration-omex-stock-is-exploding-higher" rel="noreferrer noopener">more than double</a>, closing at $0.85. The company specializes in underwater mineral exploration and has been discussing potential licensing opportunities with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

<h3>Exploring the Significance of Insider Trading</h3>
Insider transactions shouldn't be used primarily to make an investing decision, however an insider transaction can be an important factor in the investing decision. 
In the realm of legality, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Notably, when a company insider makes a new purchase, it is considered an indicator of their positive expectations for the stock.
Conversely, insider sells may not necessarily signal a bearish stance on the stock and can be motivated by various factors.
