Company Description
OriginClear Inc. (OCLN) is described in its public communications as the Clean Water Innovation Hub™, with a focus on launching and nurturing ventures in water treatment, wastewater infrastructure and related financing models, as well as, more recently, tax-advantaged funding of scarce assets such as Bitcoin mining. The company’s stock trades on the over-the-counter market under the symbol OCLN.
According to multiple company press releases, OriginClear has developed a structure built around several key businesses. Its Water On Demand™ subsidiary is characterized as an “innovative fintech” that aims to make clean water an investable asset, open to a broad base of investors, with the potential for royalty-style returns. OriginClear has contributed its Modular Water Systems™ division and Progressive Water Treatment into Water On Demand to combine technology, engineering and project execution capabilities.
Water On Demand and decentralized water treatment
OriginClear’s disclosures emphasize a shift from centralized, government-run wastewater systems toward private, decentralized treatment. Water On Demand is described as enabling local industries and communities to treat and reuse water on-site, helping reduce the burden on municipal systems and respond to water scarcity and climate-related challenges. The model is framed as “water-as-a-service,” where treatment assets can be financed and operated as long-lived infrastructure.
Within Water On Demand, Modular Water Systems (MWS) designs and manufactures standardized, packaged wastewater treatment and pumping systems. Company materials highlight products such as the EveraMOD™ pump station, a factory-built, structural-plastic pump station intended to replace traditional concrete structures, and the EveraTREAT™ MINI line, which targets small wastewater treatment applications. These systems are described as using structural thermoplastics and standardized designs to simplify installation and provide long service life for municipal, industrial and commercial wastewater applications.
Progressive Water Treatment (PWT), described as a 25-year veteran engineered solutions business based in Texas, provides light manufacturing, engineering and integration capabilities for water treatment equipment. OriginClear has reported that PWT operates as a division of Water On Demand and supports larger and more complex installations. PWT’s expanded headquarters in Sherman, Texas, is intended to increase manufacturing capacity and inventory for filtration and pump systems.
OriginSpark and Bitcoin mining acceleration
In more recent releases, OriginClear describes a new venture called OriginSpark™, presented as the company’s “next launch” following the spinoff of Water On Demand. OriginSpark is characterized as a platform for tax-advantaged funding of scarce assets, specifically focused on accelerating Bitcoin mining. The business model, as described by the company, is to form joint ventures with Bitcoin miners to help expand their operations, often by securing access to long-term, low-cost energy and specialized project financing structures.
OriginSpark has announced joint ventures with Bitmern Mining and Block40X. These arrangements are described as aiming to develop large-scale, sustainable Bitcoin mining facilities, with an emphasis on access to low-cost power, scalability and compliance with U.S. and EU regulations. OriginClear’s communications state that OriginSpark’s financial model includes elements such as preferred returns, capital exit options, Bitcoin treasury holdings and pro rata profit distributions after expenses, targeting accredited and high-net-worth investors and, over time, broader investor groups.
Corporate evolution and venture platform
OriginClear’s public statements describe a corporate evolution from an industrial water technology and services company into a broader venture platform for water and other scarce-asset infrastructure. The company reports that it spun off Water On Demand and then positioned OriginSpark as a subsequent venture. OriginClear has also discussed efforts to create enterprise value through combinations of its water-related subsidiaries and, at times, potential business combinations involving Water On Demand and a Nasdaq-listed special purpose acquisition company.
The company’s communications frequently reference a large, unfunded need for water infrastructure investment and frame Water On Demand as a way to channel investor capital into decentralized water treatment projects. At the same time, OriginSpark is presented as applying similar financing concepts to the digital infrastructure of Bitcoin mining, particularly where access to low-cost power is a critical factor.
Regulatory reporting
OriginClear files reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. An NT 10-Q filing indicates that the company notified the SEC of a delay in filing a quarterly report for a period ended September 30, 2025, while stating that it expected to file within the permitted extension period. The filing also indicates that the company had filed all other required periodic reports in the preceding 12 months.
