It's likely SVB has assets in excess of $250k per account. So if they are sold, I'd expect depositors to get at least $250k and possibly more, depending on how those assets are sold.

It only becomes a bailout if the government pays beyond the sale of svb's assets.

Yep, we are on the same page. No issue with an orderly, open market asset sale and pro rata distribution. That’s how the system is supposed to work.
