sorry you are confused or not communicating the options valuation theory properly
the strike price remains fixed at 2c
the intrinsic valuation rises as the underlying share price rises further above the share price
on to of that the premium of the option value rises as the underlying share price volatility rises
the time premium to expiry
essentially ‘rho’ ie interest carry to term of the invested component of the option falls away
the impact of volatility is an uncertain one to vallue given the time frame applied to study the underlying volatility if thevunderlying stock but clearly can be thought of as time allowance for the probability say of the strike price to remain in the money to expiry and by how much
the “ premium “ the price of the option trades at is, as. you say , also influenced by what the sellers are prepared to accept
given their risk assessments of exercise value and other factors such ss needs
not sure their entry price is that relevant in the model or scheme of things
clearly though where large volumes of holders exist who dont want or cant pay to exercise they may tend to out offer each other to take profits at “ cheaper” than modelled valuations
but then , as i suspect here, real value opportunity falls more to the buyers
