Dec 15 (Reuters) - Blank-check acquisition firm Bridgetown Holdings Ltd is considering a merger with Indonesian e-commerce firm PT Tokopedia, Bloomberg News reported here on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Tokopedia, backed by SoftBank Corp, could be valued between $8 billion and $10 billion in a deal, the report said. Deliberations are at a preliminary stage and Bridgetown could still look at other potential targets, it added.
Founded in 2009, Tokopedia provides an online marketplace that allows individuals and businesses in Indonesia to open their own online stores.
