The bikes are the city's, the operator is Clear Channel: about 5,000 bikes at 325 stations since 2008. Area C congestion revenue funds mobility like this, though no BikeMi share is published.
what does this mean?
The strongest source is the operator's or the city's own reporting — an official report, dataset or press release. It grades who did the looking — not how well the project went.

Launched in December 2008, BikeMi is Milan's docked public bike-share — a Comune di Milano service operated by Clear Channel in partnership with transit authority ATM, and one of Italy's first large-scale schemes. For Expo 2015 it added 1,000 pedal-assisted e-bikes alongside its standard and child-seat bikes, and today runs roughly 5,000 bikes across about 325 app-linked stations. Revenue from Milan's Area C congestion charge is earmarked for sustainable mobility of this kind, though the city publishes no BikeMi-specific allocation.
