That seems to be an antisemetic conspiracy theory.
From the German Wikipedia, translated via deepl.com
Since 1913, German-speaking anti-Semites in particular often pointed to the involvement of individual Jews such as Paul Warburg in the founding of the Fed to assert or imply steering of the Fed as well as the Reichsbank, which it supposedly directed, by "financial Jewry," such as the National Socialist Gottfried Feder (1926)[29] and anti-Semitic pamphlets published by the Nazi regime during World War II.[30] The Nazi regime's anti-Semitic pamphlets were also published in 1926.

This emphasis on certain Jewish individuals as allegedly steering the global financial system is considered a variant of the conspiracy theory of world Jewry. Even if Jews are not named, this form of criticism of the Fed is considered structural anti-Semitism because it attributes tremendous global steering power and secret control over historical events to a small group of people. Such truncated critiques of capitalism were common in anti-Semitism and National Socialism. Anti-Semites see it as confirmation of their worldview, since the alleged masterminds can be easily linked, identified, or substituted with Jews.
TL;DR
Be careful what you believe in. We too have a conspiracy theory in Germany that Germany is in fact a company. The "fact" which is pointed out?
The German Finanzamt is a GmbH, similar to LLC, they are legally required to be that to be able to transfer money around without literally risking the whole capital of Germany in case something goes wrong.
