= Solution

Suppose $B\mathbf x=0$. The given <quadratic form> bound then gives
$$
0=\mathbf x^TB\mathbf x\geq|\mathbf x|^2,
$$
so $\mathbf x=0$. Thus the <kernel> of $B$ is trivial. A square <matrix> with trivial <kernel> is an <invertible matrix>, proving the assertion. No symmetry assumption on $B$ is needed.
