Yes, but if a company has assets then in bankruptcy often both it’s assets and some of its liabilities get transferred. Say Alcor goes bankrupt and a judge has to decide what to do with Alcor’s bodies and its assets. The judge would be more likely to give the assets to an organization that was likely to preserve the bodies.
Assuming somebody would want to take over a bankrupt company with liabilities as nasty as not-quite-dead humans. The liabilities of a bankrupt cryo company would vastly exceed the assets. Also, you can’t get rid of those liabilities, not even part of them, in any way which isn’t a PR disaster.
