This is merely an answer. Stock of SVB may ( may because at this point I am not discounting anything ) go to zero, however based on available information, vast majority of depositors ( 90% range ) were above FDIC insurance cap, which makes it a bailout of depositors AND, effectively and likely more importantly, all the smart ( and well-connected money ) that are invested in those startups.

It is a bailout. Its true beneficiaries are not as straightforward as in 2008 though.

<< bail outs keep the stock afloat. Here the stock goes to $0.

In such a case you are wrong about this statement then. This bailout is 100% intended to keep stock afloat; just not SVB's.
