Anywhere. Put them on an HN comment, log in and enable showdead. Stick them in a git repo, revert the commit, and make a pull request to a popular project. Steganographically encode them into the next popular internet meme. Make an account on hashbang.sh and save it to disk.
If you have access to the blockchain, you already have access to a million more reliable data storage options, some reasonable, some not.

Already distributed and can be expected to survive longer than individual companies.
