SEC Chair Paul Atkins Backs Review of Quarterly Reporting — Bitcoin Investors Eye Shift to Semi‑Annual Disclosure

COINOTAG News on September 19 reported comments from Paul Atkins indicating the SEC intends to advance a comprehensive disclosure reform plan for public-company investors. Atkins called for a review of information acquisition channels and dissemination methods, observing that many investors derive more insight from earnings conference calls than from conventional quarterly reports.

Atkins also aligned with former President Trump’s suggestion to evaluate changing the financial reporting cadence from quarterly to semi-annual, citing concerns that the current rhythm may amplify short-term management focus. Market participants, including governance and compliance teams at public and crypto-related issuers, should monitor the SEC rulemaking timeline and reassess investor disclosure controls and reporting processes accordingly.
