That’s the reserve requirement and doesn’t have anything to do with their capital requirements.

The fed, fdic and occ all regulate banks capital and have strict requirements around it. Not to mention their equity holders.

Reserve requirements != capital requirements, the latter having replaced the former in modern banking.
