Gift Tax on appreciated asset

Say you buy Bitcoin at $100. It is now worth $100,000. I then decide to start giving my son yearly gifts of $18,000 or less in Bitcoin. Does my son inherit the cost basis of what that amount of bitcoin was worth when I got it? Is there a tax event for me at fair market value and he gets that cost basis? I know he is except for taxes up to $18,000/year.
