No, stock ownership of Federal Reserve district banks is restricted to national banks and certain state banks. Private individuals, corporations, and foreign governments are not allowed to own Federal Reserve stock. This is in accordance to law. Additionally, Federal Reserve stock is a little different than the stock of a corporation. Federal Reserve stock does not confer any rights of ownership to the holder beyond the par value of the stock. The stock does pay an annual 6% dividend, but that is about it. Member banks are required to subscribe to a specific amount of Federal Reserve stock. This amount is set by law and the member bank cannot subscribe to anymore or any less than the specified amount. National banks, are required to become members and state banks may become members of the system if they meet certain requirements.
EDIT: BTW, the law that governs the Federal Reserve is Title 12 U.S.C. Chapter 3. http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode12/usc_sup_01_12_10_3.html
As an addendum, the law does allow for a private individual to hold a small amount of Federal Reserve stock. However, the individual would have to convince the Federal Reserve to sell it to them because the stock is not traded and I can almost guarantee they won't.

The federal reserve is not owned by anyone.
It is a federal department, like the FBI, TSA, CIA.
It is federally funded and regulated, you can't invest in it.
It is not a private bank. |

No. The Federal Reserve only does business with member banks and other countries' central banks. |

"The only thing Federal about the Federal Reserve is it's name."
it is private not a government institution like the CIA |

You heard wrong.
US citizens do invest in the Federal Reserve -- with our taxes.
Perhaps what others meant is that foreign investors are buying a lot of US bonds. |

Yes - but only indirectly by investing in a publicly traded company that is a stockholder in the privately held corporation. I believe Bank of New York is one of them. |
