Could they instead hold short-term treasuries (as short as 4 weeks, I believe) and refuse to honor large withdraws until they mature?

Short term treasuries are definitely pretty common on the asset side, but if you refuse to honor withdrawals on demand deposits you won't have a bank anymore and the FDIC will step in to wind things down
