You get back your money plus a garbage interest rate relative to what you could've gotten if your money were available now though. That is why it is cheaper, it's not like it's an irrational market dip due to a panic, where the time-value will eventually recover. Unless interest rates go back down very soon the time-value on this thing is definitely a loss.

And yeah as a bank it's an extremely stupid move to put 40% of your money into an entirely unhedged bet that interest rates will not go up for 10 straight years. Maybe the Fed didn't handle things as well as they could, and similarly maybe VCs exacerbated the problem unnecessarily, but I don't see how the lion's share of the blame doesn't go to SVB here.
