FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The following table describes the performance for the fiscal period indicated. All information reflects financial results for a single fund share. Net asset value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period, and redemption at net asset value on the last day of the period. Net asset value total return includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
NOTE 1—
Significant Accounting Policies:
BNY Dreyfus Stablecoin Reserves Fund (the fund) is a separate diversified series of Dreyfus Institutional Liquidity Funds (the Trust), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the Act), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company currently offering two series, including the fund. The fund had no operations until November 13, 2025 (commencement of operations), other than matters relating to its organization and registration under the Act. The fund’s investment objective is to seek as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. Shares of the fund are intended to serve as reserves backing outstanding payment stablecoins. The fund does not invest in stablecoins. BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (the Adviser), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BNY), serves as the fund’s investment adviser. Dreyfus, a division of Mellon Investments Corporation (the Sub-Adviser), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of BNY and an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the fund’s sub-adviser.
BNY Mellon Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold without a sales charge. The fund is designed for purchase by stablecoin issuers and institutional investors. The fund’s shares are intended to serve as reserves backing the outstanding payment stablecoins of permitted payment stablecoin issuers. Stablecoin issuers are responsible for determining whether an investment in the fund meets applicable regulatory requirements to which the issuer may be subject. The fund’s shares are also available for purchase by institutional investors, acting for themselves or in a fiduciary, advisory, agency, brokerage, custodial or similar capacity.
As of March 31, 2026, MBC Investments Corporation, an indirect subsidiary of BNY, held 25,100,000 shares of the fund.
The fund operates as a government money market fund” as that term is defined in Rule 2a-7 under the Act. It is the fund’s policy to maintain a constant net asset value (“NAV”) per share of $1.00, and the fund has adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend and distribution policies to enable it to do so. There is no assurance, however, that the fund will be able to maintain a constant NAV per share of $1.00.
The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series of the Trust are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the FASB ASC Topic 946 Financial Services-Investment Companies. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.
(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at amortized cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair market value, the fair value of the portfolio securities will be determined by procedures established by and under the general oversight of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Act.
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.
8

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Act, which does not take into account unrealized gains or losses. This involves valuing an instrument at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the instrument. While this method provides certainty in valuation, it may result in periods during which value, as determined by amortized cost, is higher or lower than the price the fund would receive if it sold the instrument. The Board overseeing this fund has established, as a particular responsibility within the overall duty of care owed to fund investors, procedures reasonably designed to stabilize the fund price per share as computed for the purpose of purchases and redemptions at $1.00. Such procedures include periodic review by the Board of the deviation of the fund NAV calculated by using available market quotations or market equivalents (including valuations obtained from a Service) from the fund $1.00 per share based on amortized cost. A fund cannot guarantee that its NAV will always remain at $1.00 per share. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of March 31, 2026 in valuing the fund’s investments:

(b) Securities transactions and investment income:  Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and is recognized on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis.
The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions, deemed to be creditworthy by the Adviser, subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase and the fund’s agreement to resell such securities at a mutually agreed upon price. Pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement, such securities must have an aggregate market value greater than or equal to the terms of the repurchase price plus accrued interest at all times. If the value of the underlying securities falls below the value of the repurchase price plus accrued interest, the fund will require the seller to deposit additional collateral by the next business day. If the request for additional collateral is not met, or the seller defaults on its repurchase obligation, the fund maintains its right to sell the underlying securities at market value and may claim any resulting loss against the seller. The collateral is held on behalf of the fund by the tri-party administrator with respect to any tri-party agreement. The fund may also jointly enter into one or more repurchase agreements with other funds managed by the Adviser in accordance with an exemptive order granted by the SEC pursuant to section 17(d) and Rule 17d-1 under the Act. Any joint repurchase agreements must be collateralized fully by U.S. Government securities.
For financial reporting purposes, the fund elects not to offset assets and liabilities subject to a Repurchase Agreement, if any, in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Therefore, all qualifying transactions are presented on a gross basis in the Statement of Assets and
9

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
Liabilities. As of March 31, 2026, the impact of netting of assets and liabilities and the offsetting of collateral pledged or received, if any, based on contractual netting/set-off provisions in the Repurchase Agreement are detailed in the following table:

The value of the related collateral received by the fund exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement by the fund. See Schedule of Investments for detailed
information regarding collateral received for open repurchase agreements.
(c) Market Risk: The value of the securities in which the fund invests may be affected by political, regulatory, economic and social developments. In addition, turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in fixed-income markets may negatively affect many issuers, which could adversely affect the fund. Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies world-wide. Local, regional or global events such as war, military conflicts, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, elevated levels of government debt, changes in trade regulation or economic sanctions, internal unrest and discord, or other events could have a significant impact on the fund and its investments.
U.S. Treasury Securities Risk: A security backed by the U.S. Treasury or the full faith and credit of the United States is guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity, but the market prices for such securities are not guaranteed and will fluctuate.
Stablecoin Reserve Risk: Shares of the fund are intended to be held by stablecoin issuers as reserves backing their outstanding payment stablecoins. The assets of the fund are therefore expected to fluctuate depending on the creation (minting) of additional stablecoins or the redemption (burning) of such stablecoins. Stablecoins are relatively new and may face periods of uncertainty, resulting in the potential for rapid and/or unexpected requests by stablecoin issuers for redemption of the fund’s shares (including requests by multiple stablecoin issuers at the same time). Such redemption requests could adversely affect remaining fund shareholders, the fund’s liquidity, and the fund’s ability to maintain a stable price per share, particularly if such redemptions occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. The Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act (“GENIUS Act”) is legislation that establishes a framework for the issuance of stablecoins, including reserve requirements. Future legislative or regulatory developments and uncertainties associated with the GENIUS Act, including, but not limited to, rulemaking pursuant to the GENIUS Act, may affect the investments or investment strategies available in connection with managing the fund and may impact the ability of the fund to be used as a reserve backing the outstanding payment stablecoins of stablecoin issuers. Because the fund intends to invest in eligible reserve assets pursuant to the GENIUS Act, the fund’s yield may be lower than that of other money market funds that are permitted to invest in a wider universe of investments and with longer maturities.
Repurchase Agreement Counterparty Risk: The fund is subject to the risk that a counterparty in a repurchase agreement and/or, for a tri-party repurchase agreement, the third party bank providing payment administration, collateral custody and management services for the transaction, could fail to honor the terms of the agreement. If a counterparty fails to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement, the fund may suffer a loss if the proceeds from the sale of the underlying securities are less than the repurchase price.
(d) Dividends and distributions to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from net investment income. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains.
(e) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income and
10

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.
As of and during the period ended March 31, 2026, the fund did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions. The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended March 31, 2026, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.
At March 31, 2026, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes (see the Schedule of Investments).
(f) Operating segment reporting:In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), the fund has operated and been managed as a single reportable segment, generating returns through dividends, interest, and/or gains from investments aligned with its single stated investment objective as outlined in the fund’s prospectus. The fund’s accounting policies are consistent with those described in these Notes to Financial Statements. The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is represented by BNY Investments and is comprised of Senior Management and Directors of BNY Investments. The CODM considers the net increase in net assets resulting from operations when deciding whether to purchase additional investments or make distributions to shareholders. Detailed financial information for the fund is presented in these financial statements, including total assets and liabilities in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, investments held in the Schedule of Investments, results of operations and significant segment expenses in the Statement of Operations, and additional performance information—such as total return, portfolio turnover, and ratios—in the Financial Highlights.
NOTE 2—
Management Fee, Sub-Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with the Adviser, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .20% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. The Adviser has contractually agreed, from November 13, 2025 through November 30, 2026, to waive receipt of a portion of the fund’s management fee in the amount of .03% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. In addition, the Adviser has contractually agreed, from November 13, 2025 through November 30, 2026, to waive receipt of its fees and/or assume the direct expenses of the fund’s shares so that the direct expenses (excluding taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed .18% of the value of fund’s average daily net assets. On or after November 30, 2026, the Adviser may terminate this waiver and/or expense limitation agreement at any time. The reduction in expenses, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $61,624 during the period ended March 31, 2026.
Pursuant to a sub-investment advisory agreement between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, the Adviser pays to the Sub-Adviser a monthly fee of 50% of the monthly management fee the Adviser receives from the fund with respect to the value of the sub-advised net assets of the fund, net of any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements made by the Adviser.
(b) The fund has an arrangement with BNY Mellon Transfer, Inc., (the “Transfer Agent”), a subsidiary of BNY and an affiliate of the Adviser, whereby the fund may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset Transfer Agent fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes transfer agent net earnings credits, if any, as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts (Unaudited)
At a meeting of the fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) held on November 5, 2025, the Board considered the approval of the fund’s Management Agreement, pursuant to which the Adviser provides the fund with investment advisory and administrative services, and the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement (together with the Management Agreement, the Agreements), pursuant to which Dreyfus, a division of Mellon Investments Corporation (the Sub-Adviser), provides day-to-day management of the fund’s investments. The Board members, none of whom are interested persons (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the fund, were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. In considering the approval of the Agreements, the Board considered several factors that it believed to be relevant, including those discussed below. The Board did not identify any one factor as dispositive, and each Board member may have attributed different weights to the factors considered.
Analysis of Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services to be Provided to the Fund. The Board considered information provided to it at the meeting and in previous presentations from representatives of the Adviser regarding the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to funds in the BNY fund complex. The Adviser also had previously provided information regarding the diverse intermediary relationships and distribution channels of funds in the BNY fund complex (such as retail direct or intermediary, in which intermediaries typically are paid by the fund and/or the Adviser) and the Adviser’s corresponding need for broad, deep, and diverse resources to be able to provide ongoing shareholder services to each intermediary or distribution channel, as applicable to the fund.
The Board also considered research support available to, and portfolio management capabilities of, the fund’s portfolio management personnel and that the Adviser also provides oversight of day-to-day fund operations, including fund accounting and administration and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements. The Board also considered the Adviser’s extensive administrative, accounting and compliance infrastructures, as well as the Adviser’s supervisory activities over the Sub-Adviser.
Comparative Analysis of the Fund’s Performance and Management Fee and Expense Ratio. As the fund had not yet commenced operations, the Board was not able to review the fund’s performance. The Board discussed with representatives of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser the proposed portfolio management team and the investment strategy to be employed in the management of the fund’s assets. The Board considered the reputation and experience of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser.
The Board reviewed reports prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent provider of investment company data based on classifications provided by Thomson Reuters Lipper (Lipper), which included information comparing the fund’s contractual management fee and estimated actual management fee and estimated total expenses with those of a group of institutional U.S. Treasury money market funds selected by Broadridge as comparable to the fund (the Expense Group) and two other institutional U.S. Treasury money market funds added at the request of the Adviser because, like the fund, such funds serve as eligible reserves assets for stablecoin issuers under the GENIUS Act, and with a broader group of funds consisting of all institutional U.S. Treasury money market funds, excluding outliers (the Expense Universe), the information for which was derived in part from fund financial statements available to Broadridge as of the date of its analysis. The Board was furnished with a description of the methodology Broadridge used to select the Expense Group and Expense Universe.
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee rate payable by the fund to the Adviser in light of the nature, extent and quality of the management services and the sub-advisory services expected to be provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, respectively. In addition, the Board reviewed and considered the actual management fee rate estimated to be paid by the fund over the fund’s current fiscal year, which included reductions for a fee waiver arrangement in place that reduced the management fee payable to the Adviser. The Board also reviewed the range of actual and contractual management fees and total expenses as a percentage of average net assets of the Expense Group and Expense Universe funds and discussed the results of the comparisons.
The Board considered that the fund’s contractual management fee was approximately equivalent to the Expense Group median contractual management fee, the fund’s estimated actual management fee was higher than the Expense Group median and higher than the Expense Universe median actual management fee, and the fund’s estimated total expenses were equal to the Expense Group median and lower than the Expense Universe median total expenses.
Representatives of the Adviser stated that the Adviser has contractually agreed, until at least November 30, 2026, to waive receipt of a portion of its management fee in the amount of 0.03% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and to cap the fund’s expense ratio (excluding taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) at 0.18%.
16

Representatives of the Adviser reviewed with the Board the management or investment advisory fees (1) paid by funds advised by the Adviser that are in the same Lipper category as the fund and (2) paid to the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser for advising any separate accounts and/or other types of client portfolios that are considered to have similar investment strategies and policies as the fund (the Similar Clients), and explained the nature of the Similar Clients. They discussed differences in fees paid and the relationship of the fees paid in light of any differences in the services provided and other relevant factors. The Board considered the relevance of the fee information provided for the Similar Clients to evaluate the appropriateness of the fund’s management fee.
The Board considered the fee payable to the Sub-Adviser in relation to the fee payable to the Adviser by the fund and the respective services provided by the Sub-Adviser and the Adviser. The Board also took into consideration that the Sub-Adviser’s fee is paid by the Adviser, out of its fee from the fund, and not the fund.
Analysis of Profitability and Economies of Scale. As the fund had not yet commenced operations, representatives of the Adviser were not able to review the dollar amount of expenses allocated and profit received by the Adviser, or any economies of scale, with respect to the fund. Representatives of the Adviser, however, reviewed with the Board the expenses projected to be allocated and the profit estimated to be received by the Adviser and its affiliates and the resulting profitability percentage estimated for managing the fund, and the method used to determine the projected expenses and profit. The Board concluded that the estimated profitability results were not excessive, given the services expected to be rendered and service levels expected to be provided by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also considered the fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangement and its effect on the potential profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also had been provided with information prepared by an independent consulting firm regarding the Adviser’s approach to allocating costs to, and determining the profitability of, individual funds and the entire BNY fund complex. The consulting firm also had analyzed where any economies of scale might emerge in connection with the management of a fund.
The Board considered, on the advice of its counsel, the profitability analysis (1) as part of its evaluation of whether the fees under the Agreements, considered in relation to the mix of services to be provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, including the nature, extent and quality of such services, supported the approval of the Agreements and (2) in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders. Representatives of the Adviser stated that, as a result of shared and allocated costs among funds in the BNY fund complex, the extent of economies of scale could depend substantially on the level of assets in the complex as a whole, so that increases and decreases in complex-wide assets can affect potential economies of scale in a manner that is disproportionate to, or even in the opposite direction from, changes in the fund’s asset level. The Board also considered potential benefits to the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser from acting as investment adviser and sub-investment adviser, respectively, and took into consideration that there were no soft dollar arrangements in effect for trading the fund’s investments.
At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to the approval of the Agreements. Based on the discussions and considerations as described above, the Board concluded and determined as follows.
The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services expected to be provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are satisfactory and appropriate.
The Board concluded that, since the fund had not yet commenced operations, the fund’s investment performance could not be measured and was not a factor.
The Board concluded that the fees payable to the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser were appropriate under the circumstances and in light of the factors and the totality of the services expected to be provided.
The Board determined that, because the fund had not yet commenced operations, economies of scale were not a factor, but, to the extent in the future it were determined that material economies of scale had not been shared with the fund, the Board would seek to have those economies of scale shared with the fund in connection with future renewals.
In evaluating the Agreements, the Board considered these conclusions and determinations and also relied on its previous knowledge, gained through meetings and other interactions with the Adviser and its affiliates and the Sub-Adviser, of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and the services proposed to be provided to the fund by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. In addition, the Board’s consideration of the contractual fee arrangements for the fund had the benefit of a number of years of reviews of substantially similar agreements for

other BNY funds that the Board oversees, during which lengthy discussions took place between the Board and representatives of the Adviser. Certain aspects of the arrangements may receive greater scrutiny in some years than in others, and the Board’s conclusions may be based, in part, on its consideration of the fund’s arrangements, or substantially similar arrangements for other BNY funds that the Board oversees, in prior years. The Board determined to approve the Agreements.
