Another primary source of Taleworlds income would be government funding via the Game Developers Association of Turkey, or TOGED We can't know for sure what or how much they recieve from these grants, but we can assume it's high enough for them to continue developing Bannerlord confidently without them having to worry about going bankrupt. Ontop of this, we saw the event, the Battle of Bucharest, give them further limelight in the e-sport scene in Turkey - thus probably recieving more funding from the government so they can produce a game that the Turkish can proudly present as "Their own".
As for Minisiege unique players, this is widely varied. Looking at the leaderboard statistics of position can't be paramount to proof - as these numbers fluctuate randomly as I've noticed in past monitering - even if people do not actually get any extra kills. We can assume, however, unqiue numbers have varied high enough into the 1000s in the last reset. Into the 100k's since our launch I can be confident, as the highest number I've monitered is position 200k+ on the leaderboard
Holdfast lasts without any real server files worth talking about, as most play on their own Public game servers. We can't know for sure if the same will occur for bannerlord, but they don't even have support for custom servers for events for a while... I think this will be an incredibly detriment for a while. However, I do think Taleworlds are going to heed the advice of their players, as they have done so throughout the Beta (somewhat) if the majority voice'd their concerns and this certainly seems like its kicking up a storm on their own forums. Even still, we do not know when these files will actually be released to us - it could be a week, a few weeks, a month, a few months, a year - no one but they know this.
Bannerlord seems to take a slightly different approach than warband does. It seems far more MP, CS:GO like, centric for tournaments. This makes me believe they'll go further in the future into e-sports and hold these events more often for more cash. This is probably more profitable for them as a company too, rather than just their basic SP and MP. For MP longevity, they need custom servers who can distinguish themselves like warband, with maps and scripts. The problem with holdfast custom servers is the lack of these unique factors - all custom servers are and will always be the same as you cant add new maps or scripts. Let's hope Taleworlds deliver this too.
It's much a massive question mark to everyone how the game will go. So far, the Beta is not a massive entertaining feature rich experience, it's 2 game modes on MP that lag pretty heavily. They are fun, but nothing spectacular that I can't get out of Warband or even Holdfast currently.
