"The U.S. Government does not own shares in the Federal Reserve System or its component banks, but does receive all of the system's annual profits after a statutory dividend of 6% on their capital investment is paid to member banks and a capital account surplus is maintained."

So part of their profits go to member banks. Who are the member banks that profit from these dividends?

Probably the ones with the most money.
That's a reasonable assumption, but I'd rather have a list of the companies involved.
