There was interest when SVB was solvent. Right now, SVB has negative value. E.g. you'd need to buy SVB for X and then pay an additional Y to balance the books.

There was interest when SVB was solvent. Right now, SVB has negative value. E.g. you'd need to buy SVB for X and then pay an additional Y to balance the books. Y is likely to be a certain percentage of deposits and could be quite large. The only groups that will be interested in SVB are likely VC funds that are worried about an SVB collapse disrupting operations at the VC's startups.
