So basically people are betting that they will be able sell the stock right after Feb 22 before it loses more than $0.50?

Not necessarily. With all it gained, they can even sell tomorrow. Or at any point before it takes the next massive hit.

I mean, yes, you're right but nothing about the company changed. So people betting that the stock will go up are basically betting that people will buy it for the dividends.
