^ Rand Paul and Gary Johnson accept bitcoin. Don't know if others do. Or if they do, if they even know what it is. And aren't just using it for the attention they can get from it. So don't vote for them or support them only based on that.

Which american presidential candidates are accepting bitcoin?

All of them, i'm sure. They just don't bother to advertise it. If you sent any one of these guys or girls a wallet with currency on it, they'd take it.

By the way, which candidate do you want to send the Bitcoin to?

Allow me to be your escrow...

I didn't know about Gary Johnson, Rand Paul I was aware of due to his libertarian party leanings.
I would also appreciate a link to his page as well for info.

As for the rest I'm sure indirectly they could be accepting it but not directly.

if they think that bitcoin would help them to gain more votes, they will accept it, do not doubt it, thats what candidates do, yes? they promise things that never come true just to win some votes.

so "Which american presidential candidates are accepting bitcoin?" all of them if they can win gain votes.

Allegedly not Hillary Clinton.  There is an article about Rand Paul accepting it here...

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/10/us/politics/in-accepting-bitcoin-rand-paul-raises-money-and-questions.html?_r=0


He seems to be the only one.  There is a limit of $100 dollars per person for bitcoins as opposed to the normal $2600 limit.  One Congressman has also started accepting bitcoin.

Actually I was wrong. What I had seen accepted bitcoin are his other projects https://www.ouramericainitiative.com/donate.html and https://www.fairdebates.com/contribute.html The first is about advancing his libertarian views. The second is about opening the presidential debates to more candidates. And I know he talked about bitcoin a few times. Including in reddit. But I don't know if he will accept bitcoin donations in his campaign.
