Roku has $487 million of funds and cash equivalents in uninsured deposits at unsuccessful Silicon Valley Financial institution, the streaming media corporation reported in an SEC submitting Friday.

About 26% of Roku’s $1.9 billion in dollars was deposited with SVB, which was put into receivership by the FDIC midday Friday.

Roku shares fell about 4% right after several hours on the information.

“At this time, the Organization does not know to what extent the Corporation will be in a position to recuperate its funds on deposit at SVB,” Roku said in a push launch.

Nevertheless, Roku claimed it considered it would be in a position to fulfill its capital obligations for the “upcoming twelve months and further than” with its unaffected $1.4 billion in income reserves at other, “massive financial institutions.”

“As mentioned in our 8-K, we count on that Roku’s potential to function and fulfill its contractual obligations will not be impacted,” a Roku spokesperson claimed in a statement to CNBC.

The collapse of SVB jarred equally massive and little corporations alike. As the favored lender and banker for many Silicon Valley startups and venture funds companies, the company’s receivership has alarmed founders, who fear about meeting payroll and critical obligations with constrained hard cash out there.

FDIC insurance policies only covers the 1st $250,000 in deposit accounts, a fraction of the hard cash that Roku and several other corporations had vaulted with SVB.
