Reserve Reconciliation Report — PayPal USD (PYUSD)
Prepared by ProofLayer as audit-readiness support. This document
is not an audit opinion, attestation, or examination under AICPA or PCAOB
standards; formal examinations remain with registered public accounting firms.

2. GENIUS Act § 4(a) — Statutory Mapping
| Requirement | What the statute requires | How this pack evidences it | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| § 4(a)(1)(A) | Maintain identifiable reserves backing the outstanding payment stablecoins on an at least 1 to 1 basis. | One-to-one backing check: examiner-attested reserves compared against outstanding supply independently reconstructed from raw chain data at the attestation cut-off instant.[1] | PASS |
| § 4(a)(1)(C)(i) | Publish monthly the total number of outstanding payment stablecoins issued by the issuer. | Supply corroboration: the attested per-chain outstanding figures re-derived from raw chain data by an independent measurement path, at the same cut-off instant.[2] | PASS |
| § 4(a)(1)(C)(i) | — completeness of the same outstanding-supply figure over the reporting month. | Mint/burn reconciliation: every change in outstanding supply across the period explained by individually evidenced mint and burn transactions.[3] | PASS |
| § 4(a)(1)(C)(ii) | Publish monthly the amount and composition of the reserves, including average tenor and geographic location of custody of each category of reserve instruments. | Reserve assets table: the issuer's published composition transcribed line-by-line with asset class, custodian, and page-level provenance into machine-readable workpapers.[4] | PASS |
| § 4(a)(3)(A) | Have the previous month-end report examined, each month, by a registered public accounting firm. |
The examiner's month-end attestation is this pack's primary reserve evidence, hash-committed as pulled; the pack independently corroborates it rather than restating it.[4] | PASS |
| § 4(a)(3)(B)–(C) | CEO and CFO certify monthly the accuracy of the report; a knowingly false certification carries the criminal penalties of 18 U.S.C. § 1350(c). | Every figure in this pack resolves through footnotes to content-addressed source artifacts under one Merkle-root commitment — a certifying officer can verify the basis of each number independently before signing. | SUPPORTS |
The GENIUS Act (Pub. L. 119-27) was enacted July 18, 2025. Under § 20 its requirements take effect on the earlier of January 18, 2027, or 120 days after the primary Federal payment stablecoin regulators issue final implementing regulations — monthly reserve disclosure of exactly this shape becomes federally mandatory.
This mapping shows which statutory requirement each check in this pack evidences. It is not a compliance determination, and ProofLayer is not a registered public accounting firm: the examination § 4(a)(3)(A) requires remains the examiner's. This pack is the verifiable workpaper layer underneath that examination and the officer certification.

5. One-to-One Backing Check
| Outstanding supply | 2,024,494,891.23 PYUSD[1] |
| Eligible reserves | $3,030,833,747.00 |
| Coverage ratio | 1.497081 |
| Surplus / (shortfall) | $1,006,338,855.77 |
Backing check evaluated at the attestation cut-off (2026-05-29T21:00:00+00:00, block 25203570) rather than period end, so supply and reserves speak to the same instant (--as-of attestation).
Issuer-reported tokens outstanding (3019072414) differs from on-chain supply (2024494891.226004) by -994577522.773996. On-chain is authoritative; the difference may be timing (report date vs block time) — investigate.
