In the above description it is stated that 95% of the Fed's profits go to the US Treasury. It does not speak of ownership, however the Board of Governors is appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. So, if the money goes to the Treasury and the management is chosen by the Government does it really matter who owns it?
