the risks seem too great wrt the continued existence of your bitcoin (no mention of mirrors), you don't have actual control of them because you've given them to a third party, there's no anonymity, and the costs are absurd. there's only a few entities i'd trust to keep data around forever, and random startup is not one of them. it would be easier, cheaper, and probably safer to put them in an encrypted and split wallet inconspicuously mirrored on multiple continents, or even an encrypted and split paper wallet duplicated in safe deposit boxes. the key to unlock the wallet can be safeguarded in a similar manner.
