You can read it as “being responsible for 10% of the [total] value destruction, equal to $4B”.

So if they’re responsible for 10% of the total value loss, and that’s equivalent to $4B, then 100% of the total value lost would be $40B.

Otherwise you would say “they’re responsible for destroying 10% of the value”.
