Uh??? SVB failed because they had to sell those bonds early at a loss of 0.75 on the dollar. Did you miss that part?

SVB lost 8.5% ($1.8 billion) on the fire sale of a $21 billion bond portfolio.

From memory, the loss was roughly 1% of total deposits.

The bank reported a $1.5 billion profit in 2022 to the SEC, just six weeks before the collapse.

We have ZERO public information about ANY non-performing loans at SBV.

If the SVB loan portfolio is sound, then, the bank was destroyed by panicked depositors.
