SEC Chairman Paul Atkins Creates Truth Social Account — BlockBeats Reports on Regulator’s Move

On August 21, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Paul Atkins confirmed that the SEC has established an official account on Truth Social, the platform launched by the Trump Media & Technology Group in October 2021. Truth Social was introduced to compete with mainstream networks such as Facebook and Twitter after those platforms restricted former President Donald Trump’s access. The SEC account creates an additional official channel for regulatory engagement and the dissemination of information to market participants, reinforcing the agency’s use of diverse digital communications outlets for investor-facing and compliance-related updates without implying endorsement of any private enterprise.
