[likely solved] This metallic surface application around the edge of a bluray-disc (feddit.org)

The disc is otherwise printed like a "normal" Bluray, but there is this metallic quadruple ring on top. The image is from the "proof" of a scene release, so it might have something to do with being an early release.

Some kind of anti-removal or tracking measure, except applied directly to the disc instead of the sleeve or case?

It could be an alarm badge like in stores but to set off alarms if the disc passes the doors of the movie studio screening facilities.

That sounds plausible. Kudos to the supplier then.
