AFAIK some analyst put a large portion of the balance sheet into 10 year treasury bonds with at a lower interest rate than could be paid on deposits.  To cover losses SVB started selling stock but it was already too late.

Lack of confidence triggered a bank run and the FDIC had to step in and shut them down.
