I read the comments, but I’m still not sure what you mean. Do you mean ‘diverting 250k USD of expected consumption to cryonics’ isn’t maximizing? Then I’d have to downvote. Or ‘if you were offered free cyronics whenever you happen to be dying, it would not maximize utility’? Then I’d have to upvote. And so on.
When I first wrote it, I meant spending one’s own money to pay for cryonics for oneself. But I realize the scenario could be expanded to include a wide variety of choices. Take your pick.

No! I demand you pick a specific scenario!
Ok, then go with “signing myself up for cryonics does not increase my expected utility.”
