The Arctic World Archive has a projected lifespan of 500 years. In addition, simulated aging tests show that it will last up until 1000 years. In short, a very long time.

Github Archive aims to keep open-source programs for future generations to learn from, as it has partnered with Piqi, to preserve the collection of open-source programs "including Bitcoin" for future generations.
Do not forget the historical and cultural significance of mankind that will be preserved if a global catastrophe occurs.
The Arctic Code Vault is just a stone’s throw distance away from the world-famous Global Seed Vault.

There was an April's fools' article at Coindesk about this (https://www.coindesk.com/github-is-burying-bitcoin-code-inside-an-arctic-mountain-to-ride-out-the-next-1000-years), so I wouldn't take it too serious  :P
