Worse case, imho, is your company has trouble making the next payroll since most of it's funds are temporarily inaccessible. And after the dust settles they take a ~10% haircut on all the cash they had in the bank.

SVB still has lots of assets, they just aren't very liquid and it's possible the value (if you sold them all today) isn't quite enough to cover all deposits.



Thanks for your opinion, this makes me feel a little bit better apart from all the doom and gloom
