I THINK I FIG IT OUT 👀
TLDR
DK-Butterfly's shell is alive and well.
Step 1: Start with what we can see
Source:
openfigi.com/search?searchTe…
When you type BBG001S720V4 into OpenFIGI, you’ll see it labeled as a share class for “Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. — Common Stock.”
That tells us one simple but powerful thing: this code is the permanent ID that represents the old Bed Bath & Beyond’s regular shares in global financial databases. Think of it as the social security number for that stock. It is unchanged even if the name, ticker, or exchange shifts.

Step 2: Notice what else is connected
OpenFIGI links this share class to other identifiers:
Its CUSIP root, 075896, which points to the original Bed Bath & Beyond issuer.
Its ISIN, which wraps that CUSIP in an international format. Here is a picture displaying warrant information on Fidelity demonstrating just that too.
And finally, its LEI, which identifies the legal entity (the company itself).

Side note:
@LJenkins69420 Remember when Pulte was hyping potentially big news all throughout October of 2024 and then the big news we ended up getting was a couple of picture of him with RC???
WELL I NEVER FORGOT LOL.
I bet this was the actual big news. WHY?
Because when the LEI 529900ZBUWWUV7BKGX39 was reactivated for DK-Butterfly on October 27, 2024, it signaled that the Bed Bath & Beyond corporate shell had been formally brought back into the global legal-entity system, confirming the entity’s survival and enabling it to legally hold assets, preserve its identifiers and NOLs. It had been sitting in a dormant state until this moment in time.

Together, these identifiers form a fingerprint that computers everywhere use to recognize “this is the same stock,” even when ownership or branding changes.
Step 3: Bring in the OCC memo
Source (second one down):
infomemo.theocc.com/infomemo…
Now look at the OCC Information Memo dated October 13, 2025. It describes a change: Bed Bath & Beyond distributed warrants—rights to buy stock at $15.50—to its shareholders.
To make this work, the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) adjusted all the existing options contracts.
They created a new symbol, BBBY1, whose deliverable now equals:
100 shares of Bed Bath & Beyond common stock (CUSIP 690370101), and 10 warrants (CUSIP 075896159).
They even wrote the pricing formula right in the memo:
BBBY1 = BBBY 0.1 (BBBY WS)
This means every option contract now treats the new shares and the old-root warrants as a single economic package.
Step 4: See how the pieces lock together
Here’s where the link becomes clear.
The new Bed Bath & Beyond (formerly Overstock / Beyond Inc.) trades under CUSIP 690370, its own legal root.
NOW LISTEN
THE WARRANTS USE THE OLD BED BATH & BEOND ROOT, 075896.
(THIS IS WHERE A LOT OF PEOPLE'S BRAINS GLITCH OUT DUE TO MANIPULATION, GASLIGHTING, AND MISDIRECTION, MOSTLY BROUGHT TO YOU BUY SHILLS)
AGAIN IT SAYS 075896 IN BOTH OCC MEMOS (OCTOBER 1ST and OCTOBER 13TH).
IT IS NOT A MISTAKE JFC. YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE FINE PRINT. DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU OTHERWISE. TELL THEM "YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO READ".
Anyways, the OCC memo literally ties them together in one settlement bundle.
So, now when a clearing house settles a BBBY1 option, it has to deliver both parts, the new shares AND the legacy-root warrants.
That’s like a bridge joining the old corporate identity (through 075896) and the new one (through 690370) at the infrastructure level of the market.
Step 5: Understand why BBG001S720V4 matters
Because BBG001S720V4 IS THE LASTING SHARE-CLASS IDENTIFIER FOR THE OLD BED BATH & BEYOND COMMON STOCK, it’s the entry point that links all these systems. 🦋
When you follow that FIGI, it takes you from:
The legacy Bed Bath & Beyond shares (before bankruptcy)
To the CUSIP 075896 family (still used for the new warrants)
To the OCC’s adjusted contracts that now merge the new and old identifiers in one deliverable.
In other words, this one little FIGI is the breadcrumb that lets data systems and us trace continuity between the defunct company’s stock and the rebranded company’s equity recognized by clearing houses today.
Step 6: The takeaway
So, in plain terms:
BBG001S720V4 tells us what the original stock was.
The OCC memo shows that today’s trading infrastructure still connects new shares to that old root.
Together, they prove that the market’s plumbing treats old Bed Bath & Beyond and the new Bed Bath & Beyond as two sides of the same ongoing thread.
It’s not just a coincidence of name. It’s a data-level bridge encoded in identifiers and reinforced by the clearing system itself.
Step 7: What this connection means when we zoom out
Now that we’ve traced how identifiers and the OCC memo tie old Bed Bath & Beyond to the new one, we can understand why that continuity is important.
Preservation of derivative history:
Because the FIGI and the OCC adjustment keep the old identifiers alive in the market’s plumbing, every historical option, warrant, or swap referencing “BBBY” can still be priced, archived, and reconciled correctly. The clearing system doesn’t lose its link to prior contracts; it simply remaps them through the adjusted deliverable. That ensures that long-dated derivatives, risk models, and audit trails remain intact instead of orphaned by bankruptcy paperwork.
Preservation of tax attributes such as NOLs:
The same continuity that helps the OCC also helps accountants. The shell entity that legally owned the 075896 root—the “old” BBBY—still exists in state and federal registries. If its corporate records and tax filings remain compliant, its net operating losses (NOLs) can survive inside that shell. Under U.S. tax law, those NOLs can sometimes be carried forward or combined with a successor’s income if a proper reorganization structure exists. The shared identifier trail makes it easier for both regulators and successor companies to prove continuity of ownership and business activity when claiming those NOLs.
Potential platform for recapitalization or reverse merger.
Finally, a clean, data-recognized shell with preserved identifiers is a valuable corporate chassis. It can serve as the legal “container” for a future reverse merger or recapitalization. Because the identifiers and CUSIP lineage are already recognized by clearing systems, a new business combining with that shell could plug directly into the same market infrastructure—avoiding months of re-registration work. The warrant linkage already operating under the OCC memo shows that this bridge is not hypothetical; it is functioning in real time at the settlement level.
BONUS PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER AGAIN:
So, in plain terms:
1. The identifiers keep the story coherent for data and derivatives.
2. The NOL-carrying shell keeps the story alive for tax and corporate law.
3. The OCC deliverable proves the bridge is already operational inside the trading system.
BBG001S720V4, once just a technical code for old common stock, ends up being the thread that stitches together accounting, market infrastructure, and potential future capital formation.
It is the quiet DNA strand that makes continuity in data, in law, and possibly in value, mathematically and legally traceable across the transformation of Bed Bath & Beyond.
RC PUSH THE BUTTON 😂
