SEC Under Trump Backs Biannual Reporting Over Quarterly Filings — What Bitcoin Investors Should Know

According to the Financial Times, the SEC under Chairman Paul S. Atkins has signalled a shift toward minimal regulation, indicating it will consider replacing mandatory quarterly reports with a biannual reporting regime for public companies. Atkins, appointed this spring by the Trump administration, said the change aims to reduce compliance burdens on issuers while maintaining core investor protections, noting that “The government should provide minimal effective regulation to protect investors while allowing businesses to thrive.” Market participants will watch how this recalibration of oversight affects Wall Street disclosure standards and the broader capital-markets regulatory framework, with any policy changes subject to formal rulemaking and stakeholder consultation.
