I don't know about trends, but might also have something to do with non-native English speakers. In at least some other languages clearly distinguishing between to give and to gift is very common.

We give presents and we present gifts. He gifted me a bitcoin has always sounded weird to me. It is a shortcut though. He gave me a bitcoin should be good enough. One may want more specificity. He presented me a bitcoin gift. Or he gave me a bitcoin present. Gifted makes the point quickly even if it grates on me.
