Need guidance on a MSFT - Poor Man's Covered call

Hey everyone, I could use a bit of guidance on a PMCC I'm currently managing.

I initiated the position with a LEAP on MSFT and began selling covered calls against it when the tariff news broke earlier this spring, anticipating some sideways movement. However, MSFT surprised me with a strong breakout following their last earnings report and has been on a tear ever since.

I've been trying to roll the short calls up and out for credits, but the stock's rapid rise has made it difficult to keep pace. Now, my short leg is deep in the money, and I'm concerned about an early assignment.

Here are the details:

* **Long leg:** MSFT 12/18/2026 270.00 Call
* **Short leg:** MSFT 06/18/2026 460.00 Call

Ideally, I’d like to hold onto the LEAP for as long as possible, but I’m unsure of the best move from here. Any suggestions on how to manage this situation or adjust the position would be greatly appreciated!
