My understanding is the FDIC reimbursing up to 100K is fine and what you expect, it's just that many customers had balances exceeding that.

Just note that the FDIC provides deposit insurance up to $250k per named individual on the account. So joint accounts with married couples would be $500k. You can add children to increase as well.

Also, holding all of your fiat in a single bank or financial instrument is usually not a great idea. Diversification is important to any relatively stable financial position.
E.g: Fiat over $500k in a single institution is likely not earning as much as it could and runs the risk of loss of access to funds for X amount of time if the bank fails, until reimbursement happens. But $100k each in 2 different banks leaves you with $300k to invest however you see fit and still have enough liquidity to move quickly on opportunities.
