In What Scenario Would an American Call Option Holder Choose to Exercise Early?

Early exercise of an American call option is typically rational only when the underlying asset pays a dividend or, in the case of crypto, a substantial fork or airdrop is imminent that the option holder wants to capture. If the dividend or distribution is greater than the remaining time value of the option, exercising early to receive the distribution is financially optimal.

Otherwise, holding the option is usually better.
