  2. Silicon Valley Bank, flush with funds from successful startups, made substantial bond purchases more than a year ago. Like other banks, Silicon Valley Bank held onto a portion of the deposits while investing the remainder in the hopes of making a profit.<\/li>\n
  3. Up until the Federal Reserve started raising interest rates last year to control inflation, that had been effective. A number of the bank’s customers felt intimidated at the same time that startup funding started to dry up and started to withdraw their money. investors in technological start-ups is the Silicon Valley Bank’s main clients and they became less willing to take risks as a result of the rising interest rates.<\/li>\n
  4. Silicon Valley Bank was required to sell off some of its interests at a time when their value had fallen in order to satisfy those requests. Silicon Valley Bank sold a $21 billion portfolio that was primarily made up of US Treasury bonds at a staggering $1.8 billion loss. The Silicon Valley bank announced its unexpected loss thereafter saying it was close to $2 billion.<\/li>\n
