No, the $1M deposit is an asset and liability (which offset each other). SVB then invested those assets in bonds/securities/T-bills but then had to sell them at a 20% loss because they needed funds for liquidity—-so now they don’t have as many assets as they do liabilities and hence are taken over by FDIC.
