I'm not sure if we know how much of the blue bar is recoverable. SVB is holding a lot of fixed-income vehicles that currently yield less than:
* Depositing money in a fed account (available to banks)
* Depositing money in a money market savings account
* Every treasury instrument you can buy today
When they go to sell those assets, they may take a much bigger haircut than the pricing models suggest given the supply and demand. The assets definitely won't be worthless, but they may not be worth very much.
