Digital. It would appear that the BMCCs have very little pre-ADC adjustment (in most cameras you usually have a pre-amp, which you adjust with gain settings). The BMCC's ADCs, according to John brawley are 16 bit. The camera maps part of those 16 bit samples into the 12-bit DNG output depending on ISO settings. The white balance is then performed on the raw 12-bit data as part of the raw-to-BMD Film/REC.709 debayering process.
As a side note, it would appear that most other cameras perform white balance digitally rather than analog (Canon DSLRs are no exception).
