I think Kyle Rittenhouse has been misinformed on this issue. Lin Wood posted a series of messages on Telegram. It's possible he is lying, but his story seems to make sense.

First, Mike Lindell did not donate $2,000,000 to bail out Rittenhouse. That did not happen. Lindell donated $50,000 to Lin Wood's foundation, and it was for the purpose of helping with the election fraud of 2020, not anything to do with Kyle Rittenhouse. Here is Mike Lindell himself saying this:

Jack Prosebec got it wrong, as he seems to do quite often, whether it was laziness or intentional (unless, of course, both Lin Wood and Mike Lindell are lying for some reason, which I do not believe to be the case here).

The $50,000 donation to help with uncovering election fraud was added to Lin Wood's foundation funds, which brought their total to $600,000 in the general fund.

At the same time, the foundation was raising money to help with Kyle Rittenhouse's defense fund. That amount was at $1,250,000, and was a separate fund from the general fund. Because the total between these two funds was $1,850,000 at this point, and Kyle Rittenhouse's bail was $2,000,000, the idea was proposed to use all the funds for bail money.

This became an issue when Kyle was transferred to the general jail population at a time when his life was threatened by BLM. They said they were going to find him and kill him. So, his attorney wanted to get him out of jail.

Actor Rick Schroder made an offer to the foundation to loan (not donate) $150,000 to the fund, to bring the total up to $2,000,000 so that the bail could be made.

At that point, Lin Wood's foundation made a deal with Kyle's defense attorney to use that money for bail. The foundation wired the money to the attorney, the attorney used it to make bail, and Rittenhouse was released right away.

Because Kyle's attorney, John Pierce, had the bail money go through his law firm (rather than being posted directly by Lin Wood's foundation), Pierce instructed the clerk of court to return the bail money to Pierce's law firm (not to the foundation). This is how it is supposed to be done, btw -- the person/entity posting the bail is the one who gets it back.

Lin Wood is now also alleging that John Pierce attempted to use the bail money as collateral for personal loans. I don't know if that's even possible, since no bank or lender could know for sure if the bail would ever be returned. But the allegation has been made.

Lin Wood expects that Pierce's law firm will be returning the $2,000,000 back to Lin Wood's foundation (and presumably, the foundation will pay off the $150,000 loan to Schroeder, and the $600,000 general fund will be reinstated, with the $1,250,000 in limbo (help Kyle or use for the foundation's other purposes, such as election fraud issues?).

It's all in his messages from 11/22:

On a bigger picture view, I will say this: Lin Wood has directly accused Vernon Jones of certain things. From what I have seen, Jones deflects and obfuscates when accused. He does not directly answer. Lin Wood, OTOH, has directly answered the Rittenhouse accusations.

None of us are in a position to know who is telling the truth, so we have to take what is known and make our best guess, subject to changing our view if new information becomes available.
