GP is talking about the majority of accounts, and the number you cite is a percentage of funds. If 98 people have an account with $1 in it and one person has an account with $102, then 51% of the bank's assets are in accounts > $100, and the vast majority of accounts have $1.

What makes you think the majority of accounts would operate that way? Seems ridiculous considering it's SVB, not your average bank.
I would expect larger accounts to make the percentage of deposits in accounts with > $250K to be higher than the percentage of accounts with > $250K because that's how numbers work.
