Put option math

Put option math

I hold some restricted shares and am considering some post-lockup put options as insurance in case the stock tanks. A 10/16 expiration with a strike of $100 goes for $2,900 right now. Assuming 100 shares, it seems the put cost would eat up your value the most in the $80-$140 range. I am inclined to say this is a good bet as it preserves upside if the stock tanks, and if it stays high, the put cost is minimal relative to the profit you make. Given the current NAV I don't think $50 is out of the question, especially if AI sentiment goes bearish later in the year. I am an options newb and would love some opinions on whether this math is mathing or not.
