Alt5 Sigma faces scrutiny after missing filings and hiring an auditor whose licence expired earlier this year. Trump-linked crypto deal draws attention as governance gaps and auditor penalties raise oversight concerns. Board exits, audit delays, and legal disclosures put Alt5 Sigma at risk of Nasdaq delisting. Alt5 Sigma, a US-listed crypto firm that struck a high-profile deal with a Trump-backed digital asset venture, is facing growing regulatory and governance scrutiny after a series of audit, filing, and board-level disruptions, Financial Times reported. The company is yet to publish overdue financial results and is now working with an audit firm whose licence to practise lapsed earlier this year. The developments have raised fresh questions about oversight at the company just months after it committed to holding large volumes of a politically connected crypto token. Alt5 Sigma drew attention in August when it agreed to buy and hold tokens issued by World Liberty Financial, a crypto project backed by the Trump family. The deal also saw Eric Trump join Alt5 Sigma as a board observer, while World Liberty Financial became an investor in the company. Since then, Alt5 Sigma has struggled to meet its regulatory obligations, triggering concerns among investors and regulators. Auditor under review In December, Alt5 Sigma appointed Victor Mokuolu CPA PLLC as its new auditor. However, filings in Texas show that the firm’s licence to practise expired in August and had not been renewed as of December 26. Under state rules, the firm is barred from carrying out audit work until the licence is reactivated. Alt5 Sigma told Financial Times, its auditor is undergoing a mandatory peer review under Texas State Board of Accountancy regulations, with the process expected to conclude by the end of January 2026. The company said no audit or review of its financial statements will be issued until the firm’s licence becomes active. While Victor Mokuolu renewed his personal certified public accountant licence on August 31, his firm’s licence remained inactive at year-end. Past regulatory penalties The audit firm has previously faced enforcement action. In 2023, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board fined Victor Mokuolu CPA PLLC $30,000 for failing to notify the regulator about audits of six public companies it conducted in 2022. The Texas board imposed an additional $15,000 penalty last year for the same violations. The firm has also been working for more than two years to address deficiencies that resulted in a failing grade under the profession’s peer review process in 2023. Despite this, it disclosed 30 small-cap audit clients in a recent regulatory filing. Mokuolu founded the firm in 2020 after working in the oil and gas industry. Filing delays and board gaps Alt5 Sigma has not filed its quarterly results for the period ending in late September, placing it at risk of being delisted from Nasdaq. The company attributed the delay partly to the timeliness and responsiveness of its previous auditor, which formally resigned in November. Governance issues have compounded the pressure. Chief financial officer Jonathan Hugh, hired around the time of the Trump-linked deal, left after three months. Chief executive Peter Tassiopoulos exited in October. Board member David Danziger resigned last month, leaving Alt5 Sigma in violation of requirements to maintain an audit committee of a certain size with accounting expertise. Corporate shifts and disclosures Alt5 Sigma was incorporated in July 2024 by biotech firm JanOne Inc., which merged with Alt5 Sigma and adopted its name in the same month. JanOne had previously rebranded in 2019, having earlier operated as Appliance Recycling Centers of America. The company says it provides infrastructure that allows financial institutions to integrate with digital assets. As of December 8, it held about 7.3 billion $WLFI tokens valued at roughly $1.1 billion. Since August, its chair has been Zack Witkoff, co-founder of World Liberty Financial and son of Steve Witkoff, President Donald Trump’s special envoy for peace negotiations. Alt5 Sigma has also disclosed that its Canadian subsidiary and former principal were found criminally liable by a Rwandan court in May for offences including illicit enrichment and money laundering. That ruling is under appeal, with both parties denying wrongdoing. Share this article Categories Markets Tags Donald Trump Nasdaq USA World Liberty Financial

Trump-family-linked crypto company ALT5 Sigma has become embroiled in controversy after an investigation revealed that the license of its newly appointed auditor lapsed earlier this year. Summary ALT5 Sigma appointed a new auditor whose firm is currently barred from performing audits due to an expired license. It faces Nasdaq delisting risk after failing to file its Q3 financial report by the required deadline. Nasdaq-listed ALT5 Sigma, the former appliance recycling business turned biotech firm turned fintech venture, which has been backed by the Trump family’s crypto venture World Liberty Financial, has failed to produce its quarterly financial results on time. To address the delay, it switched auditors this month to a little-known accounting firm that has previously failed an inspection under the industry’s peer review process and has been fined by accounting regulators, the Financial Times reported on Monday. The firm, Victor Mokuolu CPA PLLC, which will now handle the company’s audits, is currently operating without an active license that expired in August, the report said, citing filings from its home state of Texas. As such, it is barred from performing audit work until the license is renewed under state regulations. Although Victor Mokuolu, the firm’s founder, renewed his personal certified public accountant license on Aug. 31, the firm’s license remained inactive as of Dec. 26, the report said. “No reviews or audits of Alt5’s financial statements will be issued by our auditor until the firm’s license is active,” Alt5 Sigma told FT, adding that the firm is currently undergoing a peer review per Texas State Board of Accountancy regulations, which is expected to be completed by the end of January. According to the report, the firm had previously failed to meet regulatory deadlines, prompting action from the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy and another U.S. regulator after it repeatedly failed to file required paperwork on time. The firm was also fined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in 2023 for failing to inform the regulator of six public company audits within the required timeframe, and additional penalties were imposed by the Texas board in 2024 for similar violations. ALT5 Sigma could be delisted from Nasdaq ALT5 Sigma shares have dropped over 77% since the start of 2025 as it continues to navigate a period of crisis and investor unease. ALT5 Sigma Corp share price | Source: Google Finance Since announcing its controversial agreement to buy and hold WLFI tokens as a core part of its financial strategy, the firm’s reporting has only grown more opaque. Currently, it faces the risk of being delisted from Nasdaq after failing to file its quarterly results for the period ending September. Meanwhile, board member David Danziger, who joined around the time of the WLFI deal, has resigned, putting the company in violation of a requirement to have an audit committee with sufficient accounting experience and size. Earlier this month, the company was criticized after conflicting timelines in its SEC filings raised questions about how and when it disclosed the resignation of its previous auditor. Eric Trump, who was slated to join the board of Alt5 Sigma as part of its partnership with World Liberty Financial, was also sidelined from that role after a review with Nasdaq and will now serve only as a board observer.
